Wasn't X.ai a calendar-scheduling assistant back when non-LLM-based chatbots were, like, a hot thing in the Valley?
There's some fucked up irony here that their domain name probably ended up being their most valuable piece of IP, and it gets bought up by Elon Musk to tout his...whatever the fuck this is.
- alaskamiller 3y agoGood memory, x.ai indeed was a calendar bot in place of a virtual assistant before chatbots were a thing.
- satvikpendem 3y agoIndeed, it was bought then shut down. As someone also working in the scheduling space, they seemed like a competitor but it turns out their service wasn't as good as they hyped. I wonder why Elon didn't use his x.com domain though, it's still sitting there. https://www.bizzabo.com/blog/xai-sunset https://www.bizzabo.com/blog/xai-sunset

- satvikpendem 3y agoYeah but the x.com domain still doesn't have any info on it as one would expect from a marketing page.
