Hey everyone, Very excited to be sharing this with the community! The unofficial tagline for Herbie is: "Designed for the smart and lazy". Herbie was created out of frustrations with all these copilots and chatbots that make us do more work or keep us glued to a screen in endless interactions. Herbie is here to "get work done". It's very simple. You give him instructions, he delivers. The beauty? Everything happens over email! So you can actually carry on with some work, not stare at a beautiful but slow stream of words. You can get Herbie to write blog posts or social media posts for you, to summarise Youtube videos or articles and even to run due diligence and research tasks! Try it by emailing herbie at broadn dot io!

@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!

Hey @calin_drimbau, I love the concept of Herbie! 😍 The idea of an AI that gets things done based on our instructions in a simplified and hassle-free manner is such a relief. 😅 Although, I'm curious 🤔 about how it ensures data protection in sensitive tasks? Also, have you considered integrating it with project management tools to further streamline the work processes? Looking forward to trying out its content creation capabilities! Keep up the great work! 🚀

@calin_drimbau @paul_gorval It's a great idea to integrate Herbie in the PM flow. It's been mentioned by our users before. The content creators also have their tools that will benefit Herbie's integration. Good thinking. We appreciate your support.

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

@ivan_porollo you have to :) we talked about 3 use cases in 30 minutes of conversation :D
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 :)

Harry Hubble
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!!

@harry_hubble1 we proclaim the end of chatbots
💡 Bright idea
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!

@manmohit thanks @manmohit that's actually a great idea!

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!
Ivor Colson
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

@ivor_colson There's definitely scope for deeper email integration!
Kirill Sokol
👏 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.

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.

@alan_furley Some lazy are very smart. With Herbie we hope the world won't tell the difference :))

@abbietsipo Go go go. The more daunting the request, acceptance criteria and specifications the more impressive Herbie's answer is. Check it out.
