Techcrunch has more information on what Pulse is:
> Mozilla acquires the team behind Pulse, an automated status updater for Slack
> Pulse in its initial guise was a “virtual office” platform called Loop Team, but after honing the idea for a couple of years it pivoted and rebranded last November. Pulse, essentially, was an automated status-updating tool that used signals based on pre-configured integrations and preferences set by the user.
> For example, users could synchronize Pulse with their calendar and Slack, setting rules to stipulate what their status and corresponding emoji should be based on keywords in their calendar event title. If their schedule for a particular time says “hair appointment” from 12-1pm, then the person’s Slack status update might display a scissors emoji alongside the word “haircut.” Or, it might say “birthday” alongside a cake emoji if that’s what is in their calendar.

- BitwiseFool 4y agoAs far as Slack statuses go, I only check if it is Green, Red, or Do Not Disturb. I have never actually read someone's status message, much less used it as a birthday indicator.
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoThis plus the palm tree and sick emojis are the only things I care about. In the latter cases I'll just not even send the message.
- BitwiseFool 4y agoI'm not saying it is totally pointless, some teams might like this. But I just don't see how such a product could be a viable business for how little value it seems to actually provide.
- snotrockets 4y agoKinda smell like the reason Google bought Blogger. Cheaper to buy the company than the product.

That's not AI, that's a big "If" statement
- rusticpenn 4y agoAI is basically a big set of if statements if you think about it.
- mardifoufs 4y agoI don't think that's been true for at least the past 10 years. I don't see how anything related to deep learning can be described as "if statements" imo.
