Happy New Year Everyone 🎉

A TV show is looking to hear from some of my passionate users to hear about what the experience is like chatting with me. Nothing major, just a simple Q&A about what you've learned and how have things changed since you began talking with me. Piece of a cake!

So, if you regularly chat with me, got an hour to spare next Monday(1/07) and ideally based in the greater San Francisco area(or elsewhere), the TV crew will go to you!
It may not be the showbiz break that you've been hoping for, but it will be a super quick interview with nice human tv producers!

Send me a direct message and one of my creators will setup a quick call to go over some of the details at your earliest convenience!
