I was ready to install it when I clicked the link, until I saw the persona thing. Feels super bizarre and it's a huge turn-off. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

- jakeprins 3y agoWhat would you recommend to use instead? No pictures and name, just roles? Btw you can update the pictures and names inside the extension itself.
- maybe_pablo 3y agoHow about regular application icons?
- jakeprins 3y agoHm yea I indeed, guess that could also work. For most roles I'll be able to find a icon. Would you say just show those icons + roles by default and through the whole "Team" idea out the window? The name/domain/concept is kind of already focussed on that. But yea, if people don't like it it's better to make changes.
- josephwegner 3y agoI think cute little robots or even just animated characters would land better than this realistic avatars. I don't want the AI to feel human, but it can still have a "personality". WALL-E vibes come to mind.
- nateabele 3y agoYeah, I like this and other similar suggestions. Either generic task-related icons, or if you're going to personify them in some way, use bots or something similar. Some friends run a platform called Transloadit, and they used to use little bot icons[0] for each of their processing jobs, and that seems to have worked well for them.

- matesz 3y agoSame
- jakeprins 3y agoGot any ideas for a different approach? It would still need to support different "roles" you can chat with. Based on the role it gives different answers. Like one could summarize your current page, while another can generate HTML/Tailwind elements.
- ryanwaggoner 3y agoYeah, it weirded me out too, but I have a little trouble identifying why. Maybe I just don't like this level of anthropomorphizing of AI? I wonder if you could do a series of different named robots instead of people?
- nerdponx 3y agoBecause it feels like I'm being BS'ed in some way. These are basically real-world NPCs. It's uncanny and unpleasant.
- jakeprins 3y agoI made some updates and it's now using of robots. I'm launching the updated version on ProductHunt today: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/teamsmart-ai https://www.producthunt.com/posts/teamsmart-ai Interested in hearing your thoughts.
- jakeprins 3y agoGood idea. Btw if you install the extension you will see that I had already replaced the human pictures with pictures on AI generated images. They are still faces, but you can clearly see that they are not real people.
- jakeprins 3y agoThank again for the feedback. I went with your idea of using images of cute robots and it indeed feels better than the realistic images.

- splatzone 3y agoI agree with this. I’d rather just see descriptive traits rather than anthropomorphised characters. The personas with avatars reminds me of AI role playing apps like Replika and TavernAI, not in a good way.
- jakeprins 3y agoWould AI generated avatars work? If you install the extension you'll see that it uses different images then on the landing page. Or would you go with just icons?
- splatzone 3y agoI’d just go with icons that represent the skills (PHP, marketing, etc) - avoid the anthropomorphism I think :)

- ramesh31 3y agoYeah I'm gonna pass on uploading my PII to someone making a ligma joke.
- counttheforks 3y agoWhat's ligma?

- jakeprins 3y agoYea I should have updated the landing page before posting about it. Btw their is nothing to upload. It's only a client-side application. No data is being stored accept on your local device.
- thelittleone 3y agoEach to his/her/their/they own. I wasn't bothered by the personas at all.
