Can't shake the feeling that the robot and messenger UI are pulled directly from https://navigator.com. Was this your inspiration?
Tony Vincent
@johnzach02 I don't think there's much of a feeling to shake, Zach. It's a pretty blatant copy of our design system. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Damon Nam
@johnzach02 @tonydevincenzi We certainly did find inspiration from them as well as others. In fact, we tried a number of different design styles including the following: During our betas, users told us that they prefer the standard messaging experience and unfortunately that design standard for this is really consistent across all messaging platforms. That’s why all messaging platforms look the same.

@johnzach02 @tonydevincenzi @vietnam I’m not sure what other messaging platforms you’re using, but I use several that do not have an avatar that blinks, bobs up and down, has a multi-color bezel that animates around the eyes, and follows my mouse around the screen on a light blue background 🤔
Damon Nam
@johnzach02 Thanks for the feedback, although I would disagree that it's a carbon copy. Truth be told that we explored a few different concepts for our "bot" and even found it difficult to find differentiate from the norm and what users expect. A google search will reveal a lot of consistency in overall bot design as well. I'm happy to share with you our previous designs and concepts as we went through multiple iterations on that alone. There's a few reasons why we landed on AIDAN's design including the block shape for relevancy to blockchain, colors in accordance to our theme, etc. I would be lying if we didn't take inspiration from multiple sources. But we truly believe that our design has enough differentiation for all products to create their own personality and identity. As always, I'm happy to discuss this over a call as well.
Zach Johnston
@vietnam Can you point me to any other bots that were a source of inspiration? I'd also be interested in seeing any examples of bots that have animated gradient faces. I'm looking but I don't see any: - https://dribbble.com/search/robot - https://bit.ly/2XzuiND

To help kickstart your journey into blockchain and get started, I'll personally send free $COIN to anyone that adds me as a favorite. Just do the following: 1) Type "favorite @d" After I send you some free $COIN, try: 2) Type "Send 10 Coin to Damon" and watch the magic happen in seconds.
@vietnam You have to double check your website in Safari. Not sure if it's just me, but the bot is not asking me anything. I feel like the page doesn't load completely. In Chrome it works perfectly. Good luck!
Damon Nam
@roman_tesliuk Thanks Roman! 🙌 Can you try Safari again? It’s working for us.
Damon Nam
@d @chris_knightsbridge Thank you! Check your wallet now. 💪
Eryk Contiki
@vietnam What’s the recommended path to buy theses tokens in North America?
Anton Vorster
Oh wow... Finally a product in blockchain that doesn't confuse and scare me away upon first sight. I tested the claim and was able to register in less than two minutes and then send some ETH in under 10 seconds. Send me crypto at https://coin.xyz/antonvorst. LOL

I’m proud to be a part of the team building AIDAN. Looking forward to see what you think of it, any feedback is welcome!
Damon Nam
@lenashakurova Very thankful to have you as part of the team Lena!
markamc
I love the product but the video... "Most simple F*#&ing assistant on the planet". How old is the person who made that video? 12? Come on guys this is supposed to be a professional project not some kids bedroom project.
Damon Nam
@markamc Thanks for the feedback Mark. It grabbed your attention which was our intention. 😉 Our audience is Gen XYZ and we confirmed this messaging really resonated with them in our feedback session.
markamc
@vietnam Fair point. I feel resonating with a younger generation is not the same as coming across as one. But that's just IMHO, i trust you know your market. On another note, will this be launches as an apple/android app at some point?
Damon Nam
@markamc Great feedback thank you. We’ve done some testing with students at UC Berkeley, UT Austin, etc. and it’s been positive to-date. Assuming that feedback changes, we are always open to adjusting. As for mobile platforms, we decided to go with responsive web until we obtain product market fit. This was all in effort to save on costs, focus, etc. As you are aware, costs are > 3x once attempting to support all platforms. Usage will give us direct feedback on what features to focus on. From there, we’ll start rolling out support for iOS and Android. It is our priority to get there ASAP.

I love it, cant wait to use it!
Thomas Larry
A wallet, exchange, and AI-assistant? This is awesome and the experience is super friendly. Average consumers are going to eat this up.
Damon Nam
@thomaslarry That's the goal! We will consider it a win once we can get our grandparents to dive into the industry.
Alexander Yaroshevich
This is very interesting. It's a great idea. I'm curious how you plan to compete against the giants like Coinbase and Binance?
Manuel
@alexanderyaroshevich Why compete with them? Just partner up with them. Coin Assistant is not directly an exchange in my understanding.
Damon Nam
@alexanderyaroshevich @brandfort We actually are a wallet + exchange + AI-assistant. Partnering is definitely a strong option as well. As for competition, the average consumer has communicated that current solutions on the market are just too complicated for them to join the industry. We believe that our usability and experience are far more superior to the options available today. With our focus on Gen XYZ, additional future features, and inclusion of traditional financial services... we'll be able to carve a niche for ourselves in the unserviced 98% of consumers.

Wow that's super cool !!!
Олег Грудко
This Aidan is really funny. He even knows the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything and can store my crypto.
Damon Nam
@oleggrudko I wish AIDAN would know what the price of Bitcoin will be at the end of the year. 🤣
