Overall interesting idea. Not sure how it could change ChatGPT with more curated prompts. There are couple thing I didn't liked about it:

1. It seems that you cannot create your own topics or at least I couldn't find in the dashboard how to create new one.

2. For some reason it requires a microphone access before the start of discussion. Landing never mentioned that you will have to talk with it.

Thanks for using it!

[1] Yes, you can't create your own topics currently - we curate topics and give the AI a lot of context so it has a meaningful discussion. The reasoning is chatgpt et al are probably better are arbitrary topics vs. we go deeper on curated topics

[2] Ah good point. I'll make that clearer on the landing page and later in the onboarding process too. Will add a text chat option as others have asked for that

Thank you!
