Hey HN, this is the beta version of Oliver — a project I’ve been hacking together over the past few weeks. I found the current companions to be either to roleplay-ey or borderline unnerving. What I really wanted was a companion that would just talk to me about my hobbies, interests, and news in an engaging way - like a friend that shared my interests would. That's how I set out on creating Oliver.

Check it out by signing up at fissure.ai or just texting 866-642-8184.

Oliver will text you through SMS and will: - Chat with you about everyday things. - Learn your interests and hobbies through what you mention to him. - Digest and formulate opinions and knowledge on media you share with him (right now links to articles and YT videos) and talk to you about them. - Reach out to you with media that Oliver thinks you would like.

I have a long list of plans for Oliver and am excited to keep working on it. This is far from a final or finished product. Would love early feedback and comments.

Feel free to email me at aedin [at] fissure [dot] ai as well.
