Add Aaahit in your address book, +91-9582305350. Just say Hi on WhatsApp and talk!

Pretty sure that this posting is a scam.

It's not buddy, It is a personal assistant on Whatsapp, a small A.I project we are working on. Working on a one pager to go with it.

Don't misinterpret this comment (or my previous comment) as hostile, but handing out a phone number online - without any explanation or accountability - makes you susceptible to spammers.

What is the purpose of Aaahit? You say you're working with AI - what is the primary purpose of Aaahit (discussion, task-routing, scheduling, etc.)?

That suggest feature is not working. PNR not working. I couldn't google anything. I couldn't figure out how to give a feedback. Wiki works well though. Was wondering if this is first of its kind or we already have mature AI bots for whatsapp? I have used bots on hike and nimbuzz. They are good. You can take a clue from these.

Testing it. Pretty good. How does it work? And what are its capabilities?

aronvox3• 11 years ago

Right now it works on top of Whatsapp, but we are adding other messengers shortly. Capabilities right now are translating, checking wikipedia, latest cricket scores, check indian railways pnr status and some fun stuff like jokes. We are essentially working towards the conversation + answering grey area questions category.

Interesting. Do keep us informed. The service has potential

I just got a msg on Whatsapp "Aarti, i am your personal google on WhatsApp.:)" from a strange no which starts from +86. What does this mean...???

Hey aronvox, I tried out the chat, its a very interesting project. Could you spare some time to talk about it? Would it possible to communicate over IM?
