## What is Percy?

See the power of one of the most advanced AI language models at work, in the personality type you choose! By utilizing the latest language models, Percy is able to understand your messages and conversations with contextual relevance. Choose how you'd like Percy to reply - from the default helpful tone that it has to a teenager or farmer. A favorite of ours is the sarcastic character. He wants to help you so much he can hardly contain his excitement...

If you don't know what to ask Percy, tap on Random Question to ask it a random question. 

In addition to all of the fun characters, Percy is also a powerful tool that uses cutting edge artificial intelligence to help with many of your daily tasks.

### 2/5 — Works great for a day or two

*2023-08-26*

After a few basic questions, the app quits working unless to set up a pay as you go account. With all the free options, this severely limits the utility of this app. Great idea, horrible follow thru

### 5/5 — There aren’t many apps that I LOVE

*2023-06-19*

But Percy is one of them! I haven’t found many apps that I genuinely use on the reg, but I’m super thankful for this one. Wonderful responses, easy interface, custom tone abilities, Siri integration and Apple Watch functionality are just a few of the amazing features. The developer of the app is responsive to the users and stays on top of the changing landscape, which is a critical during a time when AI is literally taking over the world, and the technology around it is so ambiguous. I love that I was able to purchase it for a one time fee, and then integrate it with my API key. 🍾 ***My only complaint is the crash during longer conversations, which I tend to have 99% of the time. I have read where this is being worked on, so I’m hoping that fix comes sooner than later. 😬 but regardless, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars all the way.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the support! I'll be releasing a new version of Percy shortly that will clear up those long conversations crashes. This was such an encouraging review by the way. It goes a long way and I appreciate it.

### 2/5 — Worked and then pffft

*2023-05-22*

This apparently uses ChatGPT to understand what you say to it and to give you answers. You can scan in a page from a book and it will summarize that page. It will boil a full page down to a single paragraph, intelligently extracting the main points and rewriting them in its own words. You can ask questions about anything except perhaps the latest current events, and it will give you answers. I have not tested it for political bias, although I know that AIs that are based on chatGPT will have a strong prejudice towards the political left, rather than being neutral. Unfortunately, it would answer only a few questions and then demanded an API key , which I assume is only available to paid users of chatGPT. Very little information or help is provided within the app itself.

### 5/5 — New Version 1.8 just released and solved all my issues

*2023-05-18*

They have it right this time, hopefully it will become my new favorite app.

**Developer response:** Apologies for the inconvenience. Can you go in to Percy’s settings and tap “restore purchases”? Email me at percyaiassistant@gmail.com and I’ll help you out.

### 3/5 — Hi

*2023-05-17*

When replying to my question, there are multiple sequences, and I need to copy the entire reply, but I can only copy one paragraph, which is more troublesome.

**Developer response:** Hi! In version 1.8 I added a button to easily copy the entire response from Percy. Please upgrade the app. Thanks for using Percy!

### 4/5 — The best ChatGPT API app

*2023-05-10*

Nice interface and features. Siri and Apple Watch support is appreciated. The only flaw is the inability to select and copy text from the responses. You can copy an entire response, but can’t select just a few words of the response.

Edit: Percy has crashed a few times while receiving a response from the API. 😩

**Developer response:** Hi and thanks for the review! The crash is a known issue and I apologize for that. In the meantime, shorter conversations are more stable. Be on the lookout for a new update and a fix for that crash in longer conversations!

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2023-05-06*

Generate your api key and add payment method for it to work

**Developer response:** This is likely because you have not set a pay as you go plan with OpenAI. Please double check that and email percyaiassistant@gmail.com if you need more help.

### 3/5 — Pretty cool when it works

*2023-05-04*

App crashes frequently

### 5/5 — Great and needs work

*2023-05-02*

So, I love the summarize text feature. It works awesome! The AI seems pretty good as well in communication. The one thing I’ve noticed is that the memory isn’t good. I’ve told it my name multiple times. The first time it remembered my name later in the day. I got back a day or so later and he doesn’t remember my name. If this would remember all the information I’ve given it, it would truly be the best AI I’ve seen. I don’t know if that is a program error, or if it’s just the way it is.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work

*2023-04-24*

I generated my own API key from OpenAI and their site shows the “last used time” updating, so Percy is definitely connecting, but won’t respond no matter what I ask. Nothing on the network blocking requests.

**Developer response:** This is likely because you have not set a pay as you go plan with OpenAI. Please double check that and email percyaiassistant@gmail.com if you need more help.
