Anyone just casually chatting w/ LLM (ChatGPT? Claude? something else?) about how your day is going? Kind of like how'd you text a friend? (if you can't tell, I am searching for real people who are treating these things as friends/pals vs. Q&A/assistants/employees)

Is anyone regularly chatting with any AI bots over text / iMessage / WhatsApp? If so, which ones and for what?

Okay, amazing @djbeebot.com ping from yesterday! Lemme explain: (1) BeeBot read an email newsletter & lears about tree lighting. (2) BeeBot knows I passing thru WSP is part of my routine (3) BeeBot detects my change in neighborhood & uses moment to tell me about the event. 👍 IRL + context-aware!

Had a cool @djbeebot.com moment last night... was walking past a building near Madison Square Park that had this cool exhibit inside. I was looking thru the windows trying to figure out what it was and then BeeBot perked up in my headphones...

We've talked about @djbeebot.com as an Advent Calendar – put your AirPods in and we'll tell you *ONE THING* happening in your city we think you'll be into. Sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn't. Since it's December (um, Advent!) I'll post what I get each day this month....

Anyone here work at Vestaboard? Actually, anyone have one of these in their homes/offices? What do you use it for? I got my eye on the MINI!

Had a magical @djbeebot.com + NYC moment this morning – put on my AirPods and BeeBot tells me about this PacMan pop-up event at Macy's. (AI finds the event, AI matches event to me, AI writes the copy, AI speaks the text... it's magic when it works!)

The BeeBot team and @dens.nyc have been hard at work building the perfect "proactive, ambient, and context-aware" AI companion that chimes in conveniently to share the best intel about your city. It's finally time for everyone to experience the magic of DJ BeeBot 💖

I'm not sure who in the Republican Party thinks 42 million people with absolutely nothing to lose hitting the streets is a good idea, but what is their plan exactly? Trying to arrest 1/6 of the country?

Whoa, lots of BeeBot love so thank you! If you're using the app, make sure to ADD KEYWORDS. Keywords are what make it go from "it works" -> "it's pretty good".

As an OG Foursquare fan, I'm reallyyy intrigued by this new project from @dens.nyc ... it also reminds me a bit of the very-much under-appreciated Foursquare app Marsbot which also attempted proactive recommendations (and was low-key one of my fave ways to find places to eat when I was traveling)

👋 We’ve been working on something new & we’re finally ready to let people play with it. It’s an “app for AirPods” called BeeBot – think of it like a social city guide emceed by an AI-powered radio DJ. I wrote a loooooong blog post (manifesto!) about it here: dens.medium.com/say-hello-to...

Everyone in East Village NYC ran to St Marks Place. Someone moved speakers onto the fire escape of a 2nd floor apt and started playing MJs “Wannna Be Starting Something” and the street tuned into a giant dance party. I remember someone dancing on the hood of a cop car.
