In the current environment where there has been some disruption in the space (ChatGPT), ideas about what the future could hold are particular useful to help form your own opinion of what could come in the future.

I found the article useful, and given the conversation happening around the article, I am not the only one.

thanks for the support :) i did run and go thru the source code of both projects to try to be more deeply informed than your typical substack flaneur

Are you talking about errand-runner, or something else? Are you planning on open sourcing it?

Something else. Calling it GPTRPG at the moment. There really isn't much to share right now, other than this basic demo that doesn't even have AI: https://gptrpgagent.web.app/

Yes I plan to make it open source.

Personally I find the idea of having a Bot Manager quite interesting. I imagine future APIs could be boys that talk to each other, and this Bot Manager would allow humans to join the conversation

Exactly! Threads in Marvin are designed to support multiple bots and users. Two key user stories:

- multiple users in a Slack thread talking to the same bot. This is something we want to deliver soon, as Marvin powers our existing Slack bots

- one user addressing multiple bots, each of which is designed for a specific purpose (because bots do way better with reduced scope than when you have one bot try to do everything)

> bots do way better with reduced scope than when you have one bot try to do everything

Absolutely true and something that perhaps doesn’t get mentioned enough. Context constraints are a superpower.

How would you use it?

I built such voice assistant for myself, but found that audio is a limiting medium.

Railscasts helped me learn Ruby on Rails during my commute. Thanks Ryan!

Great idea!

Thanks!

Who posted?

What's your background? Why are you interested in this problem space?

What is your country?

I want this to succeed. There is something pure and calming about the idea.

Design wise though, I suggest making the content (text written by users) easier to read / scan.

Right now, the usernames are more prominent than the comments.

Have you tried putting the username and timestamp on the same line as the content?

Also maybe use grey colors for less important text.
