Breaking, meet HeyPi š¤
Let's have a look at this. This is what $225M in funding gets you in AI land...
First impressions, feels kinda of slow, throttled almost. I also get slightly dizzy from the conversation animations.
š§µ Let's check it out

While I like the UX, the slowness makes it feel less premium. Maybe thats because in AI apps we have grown to connect slow with free and fast with premium.
The text fading in on the conversations adds to the slowness of the experience, and also makes me less engaged.
I understand that they are going for a gentle and human vibe, but when there is added friction for me to participate in the conversation, it feels less human, and more fake. IMO.
I feel less engaged in general with slow experiences.
Damn you fluid UI and Apple iOS š¤£
The engagement can be mitigated by turning on audio, especially the last audio option sounded nice to me.
Audio does add a strange human feeling, slightly uncanny valley, but then when you are just talking it feels interesting. Would love voice input to.
All in all, slightly underwhelmed by the experience given how much money has been raised to make this.
But I'll cut them some slack, and let them improve before judging.
We need to encourage builders everywhere in the industry.
Here is a little video from @gort_ai asking what the difference is between Pi and ChatGPT. Interesting response.

PS. these are some of the conversations floating around that I have seen that has made me a bit sceptical, but again I'll let some time pass and we shall see.
