I love this idea and it leads me to a question for everyone here.

I've done a bunch of user interviews of ChatGPT, Pi, Gemini, etc. users and find there are two common usage patterns:

1. "Transactional" where every chat is a separate question, sort of like a Google search... People don't expect memory or any continuity between chats.

2. "Relationship-driven" where people chat with the LLM as if it's a friend or colleague. In this case, memory is critical.

I'm quite excited to see how OpenAI (and others) blend usage features between #1 and #2, as in many ways, these can require different user flows.

So HN -- how do you use these bots? And how does memory resonate, as a result?

Speaking of transactional, the textual version of ChatGPT4 never asks questions or is having a conversation, its predicting what it thinks you need to know. One response, nothing unprompted.

Oddly, the spoken version of ChatGPT4 does implore, listens and responds to tones, gives the same energy back and does ask questions. Sometimes it accidentally sounds sarcastic “is this one of your interests?”
