Hue is your AI assistant that integrates deeply with your digital life, providing timely insights, reminders and support with everyday chores. Intuitive, personable, a step ahead with a strong GIF game.
Hello, PH!
Hue is a side project inspired by one of my favourite apps, Poncho, an early betaworks spin-out, and one of the first AI assistants.
I've been playing with Gen AI and RAG for 18 months, and it's now entirely feasible from a technology point of view to build AI assistants for the consumer market that are customisable and deliver consistent outcomes.
But what Poncho did that was groundbreaking in its time, and that is still missing from many current applications and tools, was to provide a personable service. What I mean by that, is that Poncho was proactive in surfacing highly relevant information to the user, which it did with a defined personality.
That's the idea behind Hue (Poncho was sold and wound down in 2018).
There's an interesting space in the upcoming consumer AI market that I don't think Apple or Alexa will fill - a personable AI assistant. Whatever Apple Intelligence delivers in terms of Siri next month, it's guaranteed to be vanilla, inoffensive and lacking interoperability - and that will create white space for experimentation.
(The first version of Hue had a personality based on the Jerky Boys, which was... overwhelming).
Let me know what you think!
Congrats on the launch, Paul!
Hue sounds like a fun twist on AI assistants.
Looking forward to seeing how it evolves.
An assistant that helps with chores and has a strong GIF game? Sign me up because sometimes, I just need a good laugh while I’m being reminded to do the dishes.
It could be beneficial to include voice command options for hands-free interactions, especially for those who are multitasking.
Super interested in this and the concept of proactive AI in such a personal context, instead of the current flow of having to ask for help and often provide a load of contextual information. I'd love to get 'life reminders' in this too like birthdays coming up, things I need to buy, insurance running out, subscriptions I could cancel that I'm not really using, etc.
Congrats on the launch, @paul_a_smith ! I’m curious, does Hue store any of my information , like my name, age, job, etc., to provide more personalized content ?
Congrats on launching Hue! It looks like a really intuitive and helpful AI assistant.
Umm, does Hue work in different regions, and how does it determine the location for providing timely insights and reminders? Looking forward to learning more!
waiting for it :)
Great to see you launching Hue, @paul_a_smith! The concept of a personable AI assistant is refreshing, especially in a market where many options feel quite generic. Your emphasis on being proactive and relevant is key. It’s exciting to think about the unique traits you’ll incorporate to create a real connection with users. Best of luck with your journey on PH, looking forward to seeing how Hue evolves! Upvoted!
🌟 Congrats on the launch! This is just the beginning of something amazing. I'll use it and spread the word. @paul_a_smith
This looks like the perfect AI assistant to keep my life organized and on track. Loving the emphasis on a personable experience!
Loving the concept, @paul_a_smith! Hue sounds like a much-needed breath of fresh air in the AI assistant space. I mean, who doesn’t want a little personality with their reminders? Can’t wait to see how you tackle that ‘personable’ angle. Excited for the launch! #PH
Hue sounds like a promising project, especially with the emphasis on a personable experience. The concept of integrating a unique personality into an AI assistant is refreshing.
Hey @paul_a_smith, loving the concept behind Hue! A personable AI assistant is definitely the right move, especially when Siri feels more like a robot than a buddy. The idea of tapping into the “proactive” side of assistance is refreshing; it’s like you’re giving a nudge instead of just a notification. Can't wait to see how the killer GIF game plays out!
Super interesting concept, @paul_a_smith! I love the nostalgia behind Poncho, and Hue sounds like a solid bet for that much-needed personality in AI. Can't wait to see how you tackle the market! Upvote!
Hue is a brilliant innovation for color enthusiasts and designers alike! 🎨✨ Its ability to simplify color selection and create harmonious palettes is a game changer. Excited to see how this tool will elevate design projects and inspire creativity across the board! 🌟👏
Congrats on the launch, Paul! Hue sounds like a really cool approach to bringing personality back into AI assistants,. Excited to see how it evolves!
