Dot is now a year old. Read about the impact it made on its designer's life (@jasonyuandesign) over the last year. Maybe the interactions we have with LLMs are the point?

@jasonyuandesign @chrismessina @samantha_whitmore Congratulations on the launch! In one of the articles you mention Dot is actually referencing 7-10 different LLMs, how is the choice of backend/LLM made there? Is it something like Mixture of Experts but without retraining? I'd love to learn more about the architecture :)

Congrats on the launch! A couple questions: How does it handle privacy concerns, given its extensive memory and understanding of the user? Are there any unique features that set it apart from other AI-based productivity tools?

Congrats on the launch! I love how Dot combines cutting-edge technology with a deep sense of human empathy. One thing I'm particularly curious about is how Dot tailors its responses to match the user's personality. For example, when I ask a question, will it give me a more rational, logical answer if that's my style? Or will it offer a comforting, emotional response if I prefer that kind of support? This level of personalization would make Dot not just a smart assistant, but a genuinely understanding companion. Anyways, I can truly feel the human touch and warmth you are conveying. Best of luck with your product!

The immersive and smooth design was really eye-catchy at first. It feels like Pi with a with amazing ability to understand my pictures, audios, stay up to day with the newest info, and respond with really personal and relevant contents. I like how it reflects my dailies and send me reminders of scattered to-dos. Will explore more!

MASSIVE upvote. Dot is game-changer. (And I *have* used a number of similar products.) I have very high confidence in the makers Sam, Jason (and Andrew!) to develop Dot into an ever more capable AI agent in the future. This is the kind of product that changes the world for the better — at least for its users.

Just feel that the current version of the Dot feels extremely slimmed down from the initial launch promos last year. So in one year rather than making it better, makers have trimmed down everything from the app which I loved so now in its current version it is nothing more than a boring chatbot just like million other just with little contextual memory. It’s ability to give wrong answers or made up answers is much more frequent than many other LLM model out there.

This sounds amazing! But how can it be balanced so that you don't end up in an echo chamber of yourself?

Dot is the most understanding and empathetic AI Agent out there. I've been using it for a week and its amazing!

Congrats on the launching! I see the great potential in Dot, looks like an awesome tool! I'd only add a little remark: I've noticed that your page is, mainly, focused on the mobile users; however, as a typical laptop user, I found Dot's webpage a bit disengaging. Other than that - truly enjoyed the product, keep it up!
