Australia: “App not available”

Are you open to turning off the country restrictions? These restrictions are so frustrating as it means we miss out just because of where we live.

evansjp · 2 years ago
You're absolutely right, I'll get an update out here to lift the country restriction.

Very cool, but shouldn't be on Show HN yet until people can actually use it.

What’s your target for percentage of ancillary appointments that are accepted? I’m intrigued by the idea, but in the screenshot it shows 2 use cases that don’t make much sense to me: do most people really schedule dry cleaning around a meeting? Would I really carve out time to pick up flowers for an airport pickup?

The suggestions could be nice, but if I find myself rejecting 90%+ then they would be a hassle…

That's actually a super good idea for a metric I didn't think about tracking and I love that you commented that.

Only comment is that out of 3 activities suggested for playing bg3 with friends tonight at 10pm, only one of them is now in my calendar (and it’s not the one actually playing bg3). I had altered the times of two of the suggested events and one of the two altered ones is in the calendar.

What was the time for the event that didn't show up in the calendar? Was it something till midnight?

Why did you choose to make Kali a "she"?
evansjp · 2 years ago
Kali is the Hindu goddess of time--also of death but we'll ignore that for now lol--and she is a "she".

I like the idea but I’d prefer the flirting off by default. Also, I asked for a simple lunch appointment tomorrow and it suggested the lunch but added a reservation for later in the afternoon.
evansjp · 2 years ago
Haha alright, I can turn off flirting by default for the next update. And how late in the afternoon did it suggest for a lunch?

This is kind of awesome.

I could see this getting Sherlocked by Siri, which you can take as a compliment.

Thank you!

I'd be flattered for sure. I think there's a lot of uncaptured value in AI to API requests, in general. Imagine an app that schedules "Flight at LAX at 2pm", but also offering to order the Uber to the Airport in time to get there 2 hours before departure. Sounds pretty cool to me and until OpenAI's GPT Plugins have broader support, I'll build that :)

Your software will be impossible to search for because there is already a very popular and highly discussed software with the same name.

I was taking the strategy of no one has an iOS app called "Kali", but perhaps it's a bad strategy. We'll have to see. For now I just want to know if the app is something people like :P
