Author here! Fabien's story resonated with my own founding story a lot, so took the time to share some learnings. I think it is especially relevant in our times of AI (and they didn't raise without any AI slide)

haha author here, and this was my favorite interaction so far. Thanks czbond.

So no, not fake, not AI, just written under the flu over the weekend.

@qarzxc: Not fictional, spoke to users & investors of both companies, see my breakdowns on them for a deeper dive.

Hey there, author (Skander from Climate Drift) here.

So for the record: This isn't a chatgpt article, it's something I wrote over the weekend while I was down with a flu (although the idea has been running through my head for a while).

@America's 1930s: Most of US rural electrification happened at this point (90% of urban homes hat electricity, only around 10% of farms). Rural Electrification Act from 1936 changed that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Electrification_Act

Why should I use this and how is it better than Bazel?

Thanks jFriedensreich! Yes, we are seeing Apache 2.0 as the gold standard for open source licenses and are happy to use it.

Hey there! @Dialogflow Gateway: nice idea and cool showoff cases.

Got some ideas on collaborating, send you an email.

hey artificialLimbs! Yes, a Teams integration is on the roadmap, as we plan to support all conversational channels and our data model already supports it. We are working our way through potential channels as we speak, the Teams API was in beta until recently.

If you don’t want to wait you can also build your own custom source for Teams in Airy. Take a look at our docs to get started: https://airy.co/docs/core/sources/introduction

We can also jump on a quick tech demo if the need is urgent.

Airy is a conversational platform, built mostly for businesses: most enterprises have a variety of conversational apps and channels they support (from Facebook Messenger & Instagram for Customer Service to their own livechat for sales, etc). Airy helps these businesses bundle these channels, store the conversations and power the different usecases.

It looks like Mixin is an open source cryptocurrency wallet that also has peer to peer chat and a desktop version. So the only common points I see is that both projects are Open Source and use chat as an interface.
