Hey Everyone! We’ve been on a quest to figure out how we could build an app to give us reliably awesome days. We quickly realized that the key to a great day was a great morning. Amazing - so if we could just nail our mornings, the rest of the day would be excellent too? Yes, but there’s a catch. While it was easy to dream up a perfect morning routine, actually doing it often didn’t go as planned when the morning rolled around. We found ourselves crawling out of bed with low motivation levels, and getting off to a great start was a struggle. We wondered if mornings would be easier if we built an app that would literally tell us what to do, out loud, every single step of the way. TLDR; it worked. All we need to do is press play, and our customized morning coach is leading us through the routine we previously committed to. Autopilot has already helped us a lot, but it’s very much a work in progress. There’s nothing we’d value more than your feedback on how we can make this tool helpful in your life. Thank you so much for checking out Autopilot! Evan P.S. A note on privacy, data-ownership, and advertising. Our ethos as a team is to give you total control and ownership over any data you produce while using our products. Autopilot V1 is a completely offline experience. There are no user accounts and all data you generate exists only on your phone’s local storage. We do have Google Analytics in place to understand the metrics of how people are using the app. We believe deeply in attention ownership and don’t think advertisers ought to be able to buy a slice of your precious attention without your consent. Therefore, our product is currently free and ad-free, but we are a business and will seek non-ad solutions to monetization in the future, possibly via subscription or paid premium features.

@the_esc Guys, you have built something great! There are not many health startups these days. I love the Autopilot morning routines and meditation approach. Branding is awesome also - faded-out retro colors are nice. I think you should add the WIM HOFF breathing technique and cold showers options for advanced users. P.s. Imao, you should work on the Autopilot logo, it is really generic and falls behind the main identity great style.

@the_esc @stanui Adding Wim Hoff style breathing seems like a great idea! We could probably use guidance in this area, we've felt wary of infringing other people's IP when it comes to creating flows. I'd flow to partner with people like Wim Hoff and get their official seal of approval. Thanks for the note about our logo! Let us know if you know any great designers, we definitely don't have design backgrounds, hah.

@the_esc @zencephalon You can IMPROVE logo today following 3 SIMPLE TIPS: - Use more bright colors in the logo. Don't use basic colors like white and black, they are dull (except you have an ultra-concept sign design) - If Using the first letter of your brand name "A", add some unique graphic trait to it, connecting with your app concept idea. So users can remember the sign and associate your app with the logo instantly. - Better divide brand name for beater reading, e.g. AutoPilot except for Autopilot

@zencephalon One thing I noticed is how jarring the AI voices are. Maybe voice overs from the founders would be a nice touch imo or actual human voices in the future.

@will_lam For sure, thanks for the feedback in this area. We've got human voice over in several of the Discover flows, but we really want to make sure people can customize flows so we'll have to fall back to TTS for that for now. I've got plans to use higher quality voices in the future (e.g. Google Wavenet) and we could also allow people to record themselves. Do you thoughts on which direction to take first?
