@paul_a_smith I need my personal assistant for sure. I'll try Hue. Great idea. I'd like my Hue to read my social media and understand what I'm thinking about, what are my challenges and find solutions that I probably can't see being emotional, not logical at the moment. I like the example with running. I don't use calendar for that, so Hue should be able to see the info in other apps I'm using to track my activity. Good luck with Hue and thank you for your work on that.
Super interested in this and the concept of proactive AI in such a personal context, instead of the current flow of having to ask for help and often provide a load of contextual information. I'd love to get 'life reminders' in this too like birthdays coming up, things I need to buy, insurance running out, subscriptions I could cancel that I'm not really using, etc.
@djmckee Hi Dylan! Some great ideas there - there's a lot possible when you go deep into the concept; there are plenty of sources of relevant data that become super-useful once additional context is applied.
And totally agree re. proactivity - I think it's the magic that many LLM-based services are currently missing!
Hey @paul_a_smith, this sounds interesting.
To get a better understanding of how Hue can help on a day to day basis, can you give us a few tasks that the AI can help with? I saw the idea with the ESTA application. It feels like a hyper proactive reminder. Like that 😅
Also, how is Hue going to know all the stuff that's going on. What permissions and access to other apps does it need?
@crebuh Hi Chris! We're working across a mix of public APIs and permissions to user accounts - so in the early examples in the demo, you're seeing Hue infer insight from considering calendar activity, weather and search. There's a lot more we can do, but there's also a lot to figure out.
Great to see you launching Hue, @paul_a_smith! The concept of a personable AI assistant is refreshing, especially in a market where many options feel quite generic. Your emphasis on being proactive and relevant is key. It’s exciting to think about the unique traits you’ll incorporate to create a real connection with users. Best of luck with your journey on PH, looking forward to seeing how Hue evolves! Upvoted!
Congrats on the launch, Paul!
Hue sounds like a fun twist on AI assistants.
Looking forward to seeing how it evolves.
Congrats, @paul_a_smith! Hue sounds like a game changer in the AI assistant space. Love the focus on personality and proactivity. Excited to see how this evolves! Upvoted!
Hey Paul,
I'm curious about how Hue's personality is defined. Is it customizable by the user, or does it have a set character?
How does Hue handle privacy concerns, given that it integrates deeply with one's digital life?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin hey Kyrylo! Both great questions. We're still super-early so working through the privacy piece - at the moment there's no personal data being passed over to an LLM, everything is anonymised beforehand.
As for personality, this is a super-interesting topic! Hue's personality is currently fixed within parameters - both the frequency of intervention and tone of language are variables. But there are obvious opportunities to consider regarding customisation of character, and there's a lot of white space to play in right now.
Hey @paul_a_smith, loving the concept behind Hue! A personable AI assistant is definitely the right move, especially when Siri feels more like a robot than a buddy. The idea of tapping into the “proactive” side of assistance is refreshing; it’s like you’re giving a nudge instead of just a notification. Can't wait to see how the killer GIF game plays out!
@antoine_gauthier_ thanks Antoine! I’m genuinely surprised more people aren’t building with AI and thinking about proactivity - for me it's the real magic and killer application of Generative AI. We'd all relish more background processes in our lives, rather than tools that require us to do more work to use them.
Love the idea of making AI assistants more personable! It’s definitely something that’s been missing from the big players. Excited to see how Hue evolves. congrats for u.
Congrats on the launch, @paul_a_smith ! I’m curious, does Hue store any of my information , like my name, age, job, etc., to provide more personalized content ?
@govichan Hi Gove, thanks for the question. We're using RAG to develop the concept of "persistent" memory and "short-term" memory to provide more contextual responses - there are some privacy challenges to consider, so we're taking our time to get it right.
@govichan possibly, but you're submitting the information in response to the service prompts in the first place; if you don't provide consent to allow us to work with the information you submit, there's no way to provide the service?
I'm intrigued by the possibilities for AI helpers in the consumer market. How do you think Hue will fit into the landscape as other major businesses evolve their offerings? 📈
Super interesting concept, @paul_a_smith! I love the nostalgia behind Poncho, and Hue sounds like a solid bet for that much-needed personality in AI. Can't wait to see how you tackle the market! Upvote!
Congrats on the launch, Paul! Hue sounds like a really cool approach to bringing personality back into AI assistants,. Excited to see how it evolves!
A friend was looking for a fun AI assistant, and Hue looks prefect for them. I’ll pass it along!
