Hi, I'm Charles and I made Ozlo along with my co-founder @michaelrhanson and a team of other smart people here in Palo Alto and Seattle. If you want to try Ozlo sooner, go to our website at signup at http://ozlo.com?vip=producthunt By the way - Alex Kantrowitz at BuzzFeed has been using Ozlo for the last few weeks. You can see his experiences here: https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexkan...

@bentossell Ozlo is an AI bot that can help you find information and make decisions. We call him personal AI because he works for you - you can tell him about yourself and your preferences, tell him when he is right or wrong, and he will accommodate himself to you. He's different that most assistant/bots because he actually has his own internal model of the world, built by reading the content from many different apps and publishers. This allows him to have a deeper understanding of the questions you ask him and your own personal preferences. if you've tried any of the bots recently and found them disappointing, you'll see how Ozlo is a major step forward. You can see Ozlo in action in our opening blog post https://medium.com/teamozlo/intr.... Or signup and install the app on the App Store – we'll let you in as fast as we can. Also happy to answer questions here.

@okito I feel like the video shows me what a bot launch SHOULD be

@bentossell Thanks! we have been working on Ozlo for a long time, but AI takes awhile. We're trying hard to under-promise and over-deliver.
Ben Tossell
@okito looks like a promising delivery so far ;)

I've been alpha testing Ozlo for the last week or so around SF, and it's saved me a bunch of time. It's fully replaced using the native Yelp app for me for restaurant recommendations (which the alpha is limited to, but I hear it will expand to much more) - asking Ozlo something like "Great sushi spots around here that are open for lunch" is so much faster than futzing around with Yelp's filtering UI.

@callmevlad thanks vlad!

@callmevlad I've started relying on Hound pretty heavily for the same reasons. Much easier than dealing with Yelp :)

I've been a lucky early user of Ozlo and I find myself going straight to Ozlo more and more. It was one of those "ah ha moments" for me that made me realize what a crappy experience I'de been putting up with whenever I cross-referenced Yelp/Google Maps to find a nearby coffee shop or place to eat. Very excited to see where things go from here! Congrats to the team on getting this out there. (Disclosure: Greylock is an investor.)
