Quick Takes
-
Onboarding was smooth
-
Surfaced current, useful information about me (unlike other chatbots that pull random old LinkedIn details)
-
Sold me a $50/month subscription
-
First time I could see a realistic path to a billion-dollar single-person company
-
-
Interaction Design
-
The conversational style differs from most AI products:
-
Short, natural messages in both directions (no verbose paragraphs)
-
Read receipts and typing animations eliminate the "is anything happening?" dead time
-
During onboarding, I found myself talking to it like a person
-

-
Identity and Personality
-
The personality is somewhat abrasive—it basically negs you. This makes it memorable, though not necessarily appealing long-term. The personality does evolve after onboarding.
-
More interesting is the identity model:
-
Tied to a phone number you can add to iMessage, SMS, or WhatsApp
-
Integrating AI into existing communication channels seems like a good direction
-
I'd like to see this extended to email addresses (CC-able) or Slack users (addable to channels)
-

-
Limitations
-
Gets confused in group chats
-
Can't use it across multiple messaging platforms simultaneously
-
Core functionality after signup still feels incomplete
-
-
Why It Matters
-
Throughout the signup process, I kept thinking "this feels like a real salesperson." If it can sell to me without human involvement, it can probably sell to others. That scales.
