Surely someone is building a product for this? Basically Day One but with AI coaching you along. Seems also like if you married GPT-3 with twilio and a scheduler, you could get a text everyday from the AI asking you something, and then you reply like a normal conversation, but it’s building your journal up over time. Also, different but related: seems like GPT-3 could be used to jumpstart a new forum where you don’t have a lot of users. Build up a big spreadsheet of topics, then let the AI flesh them out to seed some discussion content.

    Autocorrect on mobile did this. Pretty funny, however, and also true! The intended meaning was bots talking to each other without the need for human interaction.

This would finally bring to life one my favorite sci-fi stories where a man joins an Internet forum only to one day discover everyone on the forum is actually a bot.

  i'd love to read it if you can track it down in childhood i read one of those scifi anthology stories where humanity was so overpopulated everyone was split into 7 shifts for days of the week. a man fixed on one day looks over at a sleeping woman's pod and falls in love with her, and somehow switches days to be with her, only to find that she's also transferred to his day (i think.. cant recall). would love to read that again.

replika.ai does this. Their AI will send you messages regularly and maintains an internal journal about things you both talked in your chats. It is targeted towards people who want to have a relationship with the AI. They have a paid annual subscription to unlock intimacy in your relationship. The free version is platonic and supposedly less capable.

  Am I crazy, or is replika the service that, when it launched, made chats public and browsable by default? I remember a day on which everyone in the office was talking about it, so I downloaded the iOS version. After a few back-and-forths it started flirting with me (if I recall, apropos of nothing it said, "Thinking about you! ;)"). And then once I discovered the public chat log I deleted the app immediately. I do not need the world to see me getting busy with a robot.

Here are a few: - character.ai → from one of the creators of the Transformer architecture - Crone.ai → business AI advisor (ours) - Replika.ai → "AI companion who cares" The Twilio scheduler idea is pretty great. We've tried a similar thing with our ai business advisor to collect "check-ins" in the same way you'd submit a scrum or OKR check-in.
