Haha, it looks eerily similar to Myra, the cross platform assistant I launched last week [1]. Including the name. Interesting times. [1] https://news.ycombinat

- mrwilliamchang 11y agoMyra looks similar Magic to which was launched earlier this year. Also has a name beginning with m. http://www.wired.com/2015/03/stump-magic/ http://www.wired.com/2015/03/stump-magic/
- viksit 11y agoTrue. Although, the name was chosen way earlier than Magic's launch actually! So it's a coincidence. But it's all AI - no human assists :)
- mcintyre1994 11y agoI think I down voted this by mistake - sorry! Myra looks really cool :)
- volaski 11y agoIt sounds ridiculous to hear someone claim originality for an idea as generic AND faddish as text based assistant. If you seriously didn't know of apps like these existed before you launched (text based assistants with a human name), just google them up and you'll find tons launched since last year. I'm sure even YC has at least 3 companies that launched with this model.
