@calin_drimbau Trying him out now. This is cool! I had a little chuckle at him hallucinating :D
Nice job, and congrats on the PH launch.
@rob_chap thanks Rob, we try to keep him honest, but sometimes it feels like he went to Liar school
@calin_drimbau Congrats on Herbie's launch! Love the tagline – "Designed for the smart and lazy." It's all about efficiency, and that's awesome. Can Herbie handle task prioritization too? 🤔 Excited to see more in action!
@calin_drimbau congrats on the launch & incredibly creative video. Herbie looks awesome - can't wait to take him for a spin! Tagline is brilliant - "for the smart and lazy" - we all need it! So many use cases - competitor analysis is a key one for me especially in this gen AI red ocean world where it can change rapidly.
@yura_turivny It can, although you'll need to feed him your task list for now!
Congratulations to team Herbie by broadn for an intriguing launch on Producthunt! As a tool designed for content marketers, Herbie is a great asset. Given its AI capabilities, I suggest integrating a feature that allows Herbie to analyse and provide data-driven insights on previous email interactions. This way, users are not only able to execute complex tasks, but also extract value from every interaction. Great work to the team behind this innovation!
AI Agents are super interesting, we're full into them here at Algomo (for customer service) and I am extremely excited about their general applicability for other tasks as well. Congrats for the launch really looking forward to testing it out!
@charis_algomo Agents can definitely get a lot more work done at higher quality than just chat bots. Some hard requests get incredible answers that exceeds even our expectations. Thanks for your support.
AI Agents are super interesting, and this looks like a killer approach. Congrats for the launch and can't wait to test it out!
Is there a way to review what Herbie has done? I could see some tricky tasks confusing AI... Congratulations on launch!
@leon_ostrez in what sense review? maybe share an example of where you think it can get tricky - or just email him to see what he does :)
@leon_ostrez Or even better. Get a sample for yourself by sending Herbie an email with your task.
I've been keeping a close eye on agent product launches, and this one excites me the most. Finally, an agent integration with a platform everyone already uses (email!)
@areibman it feels like a no-brainer in retrospect :) i don't feel the way to go is: define agents in an unfriendly/complex interface. all in on invisible agents
@calin_drimbau a founder who works hard and continues to make what people want. Congratulations on this launch! It's awesome :)
A lot of the time I am using GPT for email, so this will help a lot having it integrated. Looking forward to meeting Herbie! Congrats on the launch @Calin_drimbau
👏 Herbie seems to be a good find for content marketers! The concept of artificial intelligence performing tasks from emails is intriguing. Good luck with Launch!
How do you envision Herbie evolving to serve other professional fields, and what inspired you to create an AI agent for email-based task execution?
@malkielfalcone Hi Kirill, thanks for your support. If you email Herbie you'll be surprised on quality it produces. It's on a different pareto front compared to basic chatbots + file reader plugins.
Yes, content marketing is just the beginning. Our early users are already pointing us towards two additional areas where they would like to see Herbie's help and support.
Congrats on the launch Calin! I just tried it out and asked it to perform some research and was very impressed by the results I received. Very professional with great depth. It's like having a junior analyst at your disposal straight from my email! The only thing that wasn't clear and would be great improvement is if I can continue the exchange with Herbie and continue refining the work with previous context.
@edric_subur Thanks Edric! Herbie has depth. I sometimes call him chatGPT with a degree
The most exciting thing about Herbie is when you see it getting done jobs that would have taken a smart person ages.
It's both depth and breadth that can make someone's life miserable in one single task delegated by email. Herbie shines at both at the same time.
The clearer and more comprehensive requirements and acceptance criteria you get in front of him, the smarter and more articulated answer you get back.
Try it out!
@william_matz eating our dog food would mean I would have to drink the homebrew :)
This is KILLER. I hate waiting for AI to think and answer questions on ChatGPT, and having to chain so many prompts together. Doing it over email and just getting the actual answer saves SO much time. Thanks for building this!!
This seems quite exciting. However, I am wondering what all Herbie can do other than offering aid with content creation.
Congratulations on the launch, Calin! Love it - cute character makes AI a lot friendlier and encouraging to use. Love the caption on your website "Designed for the smart and lazy". Can't wait to try it out later - will leave a review!
@rockyperezz wait until you meet Wanda, she's even cuter than Herbie! Looking forward to your thoughts on using it
@calin_drimbau Wanda? Wow, great to see another AI character in the pipeline :)
Exciting to see this launched - whether because I’m smart or lazy I’m sure it will be a valuable tool!
@alan_furley Some lazy are very smart. With Herbie we hope the world won't tell the difference :))
Looks awesome, really great approach for an AI assistant, excited to put this to use. Reading emailing attachments definitely won me over. Plus the cats in hoodies sealed the deal. This platform has an insane amount of potential to get work done while you work on....more work lol. Congrats on the Launch!
Simply brilliant. Just send Herbie an email and go on about your business. Congrats to the team 🚀! Trying it out now 😍!
@ivan_porollo you have to :) we talked about 3 use cases in 30 minutes of conversation :D
