Your service is (forgive the crude language) fucking amazing. I have never seen a chatbot so coherent and actually possible to converse with. It even has a short term memory! Just that fact absolutely blows me away, and makes a whole range of conversations possible. And the side-swipe to select different responses? Absolutely delightful, because some of the non-default responses made me actually chuckle with glee at how good they are, in ways that I would absolutely not expect out of an AI. For a user willing to put in a little work and role-play elbow grease this will get some really good conversational results.

When you choose how to monetise this, please, please include an API so I can plug this into a voice assistant, or a command line utility, or whatever. This is promising to be far more useful than anything that Google Assistant, Alexa or Siri can achieve right now, even if it gets some facts wrong.

For anyone reading this: please try out the Librarian persona. It's one of my favourites.




I have to admit to being impressed as well. It is not hard to imagine being fooled, Turing-test-wise, by the character I was talking to, at least for the several minutes of time I gave it.
