Great App, but needs new dev

The app has great potential, but the developers have no motivation to improve the app. It’s devoid of simple features like favoriting specific AI, being notified of updates from AI and really any basic instruction of how anything works.

Hope they update it soon, but it looks like we’re stuck with the current minimalist features until the developer decides / figures out how to monetize it.

Either way I just want to have a favorites list lol. I have use for literally one of the AI and don’t want to have to continuously close the app since it absolutely saps battery power if left on standby while the screen is turned off

Really good

The AIs on this app impressed me. I’m really excited to see what happens. It runs really fast and smoothly.

High Potential

This app seems really cool. I think the concept has a lot of potential, and the possible AI assistants that can be made are endless. The pill counter works reallyyyy well.

Good for pharmacists

I used the Pill Counter AI and it is very impressive!

Instead of counting pills manually, I use the camera to count them. It has saved me so much time!

Keep up the good work 👍
