building @forgetlyai | playing with ai tools

[Matthew @mattchuchuu]

I've always had trouble managing task apps. They just add more mental clutter and feel like a chore to maintain. So, I decided to build something better for myself.

@ForgetlyAI is a "friend" that literally texts you reminders in a totally engaging way, customized to how you want to be talked to.

I usually just ignore push notifications, but with this I'm more incentivized to actually pay attention since its a text message.

I set mine to chat like Yoda and it turns tasks into fun nudges instead of annoying notifications.

It's funny cause its like Yoda is a friend on my phone cheering me on lol

@Techweek_ Let’s keep it going! :)

First day of SF tech week is insane. Like one of the largest gathering of founders, devs, and startups in one city exchanging ideas and stories

When you think you’re hustling, some of these guys are take it up a notch, and are cracked beyond belief

[Matthew @mattchuchuu]

@braelyn_ai More people in the LA stadium representing SF than SF itself lmao

[Matthew @mattchuchuu]

This is the first SF tech week I’m attending, it literally feels like welcome week at uni signing up for all these events 😂

[Matthew @mattchuchuu]

Curious is anyone has reverse engineered the prompts for this

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Sound on.

Been playing with Sora 2 for an hour

First impressions:
- The amount of slop, memes, and brainrot is actually insane inside the app. Literally all brainrot

- The “realistic” vibe is better than veo cause the native physics and camera angles are top notch with 0 prompting

Shower thoughts:
- Actual good creative writing and story boarding is what will thrive long term

- It’ll get burnt out once the hype dies down, just like Bigfoot memes

- For the actual directors- really powerful tool. Think it’ll become adopted by Hollywood faster than I originally thought

Curious how the anti-ai crowd on tiktok is going to react to the flood of sora videos

[Matthew @mattchuchuu]

This is insane, Sora bringing in all these angles and camera movements. Veo’s always had trouble with that

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Sora 2 is here.

[Matthew @mattchuchuu]

@OpenAI Damn this is actually sick. The camera movement is insane. Wonder how good it adheres to the prompts compared to veo

@SinaHartung Im the co-founding intern

@icanvardar Hey that looks like my m&m’s bottle

[Matthew @mattchuchuu]

@sethsetse That’s enough X for one day folks

[Matthew @mattchuchuu]

I still think text message based AI services is super undervalued and misunderstood. I called this back in April when I set out to build Forgetly.

I showed a few friends of mine Forgetly and Poke and the first thing they said was it's scary. I also ran it by my aunt and she said I don't even have an email.

I still feel like the majority of people have no clue what AI is, or even how to download an app off the app store.

My conclusion is providing a tool or ai service is cool and all, but the next iteration of Forgetly will constitute a few fundamental truths.

- Tackling trust
- Making it even more frictionless, aka so you don't feel like you need to 'go out of your way' to use it. This is a fine line without being a nagging gf
- A bunch of other secret sauce for the infrastructure

Have an MVP up for Forgetly. A native iOS/SMS ai accountability assistant for task management and general purpose use cases, search, chatting, etc.

The idea is to be the execution layer between formal calendar tools, fleeting to-do items, and real human-like follow ups. I’m trying to provide ai services through text message and leverage ML to surface messages at the time the user would benefit the most from a reminder or any info they would find valuable, in an engaging, not mindless robotic way, so people actually pay attention to what they set out to do and trust an ai.

While not overloading the user with reading their entire online persona, learning automation workflows, and doing any kind of onboarding. So easy your grandma would benefit from texting it.

@FurqanR This is awesome, i just requested! Can take my track car. Any idea what’s the reg fee?

[Matthew @mattchuchuu]

This is literally what i’m working on and I have an MVP that’s native to ios and compatible with android/SMS. I’ve been bullish on providing ai services via text for months now cause there is a clear need. Nobody wants to download 100 different apps, go through a complex onboarding flow, or sync up their online profile for privacy concerns. Nor are the majority of ai users in society today even privy to using another tool. My whole aim is to reduce the barrier of entry for ai as much as i can.

@ahudovich Most have no time to shitpost or check X at all in my opinion

[Matthew @mattchuchuu]

There is literally not enough time in my day to do all the stuff i wanna do

Need to build ml into app
analyze pricing
analyze ga4
redesign site
market more
talk to vc’s

Keep pushing till u drop

@hthieblot I'll die twice before I quit

The hardest part of applying to speedrun is getting through the bug on their site that redirects you to the investor application instead of the startup application
