Salve, DATA Creator! The dawn of a new era is upon us: DATA v0.4.2 is now live on Discord & chat.heydata.org

This is the email we now send every new DATA Creator as of July 2024! Enjoy 🙂

Welcome to DATA, where truth and innovation flourish.

Bookmark this email, it has all the context you’ll need & links you might want to access DATA on any device.

My fellow DATA Creator,

Enter The Arena With DATA: Your Sword and Shield

We are drowning in a sea of misinformation. The truth more often gets lost in the noise. You’re not alone.

Imagine the Roman Colosseum, a grand arena where gladiators fought for glory, but also where truth was often sacrificed for spectacle.

Today, the battle for truth continues, but the arena has shifted. Social media platforms have become our modern Colosseum, filled with noise, distractions, and often, outright lies.

Just as the Roman Forum was the heart of ancient civic life, DATA is your canvas for creativity, a platform to refine and promote your best ideas, and a community to celebrate each innovation. Together, we’re building a republic of knowledge that will stand the test of time.

I’m Steve Moraco, the founder of DATA and the founding DATA Creator. I’m thrilled to welcome you to our growing community.

Let me give you a quick tour of our digital forum and what you can expect in the days to come.

Perhaps like you, I taught myself many new things with AI in 2022 and 2023, one of which was how to code!

I built DATA to give others that same powerful toolset without the need to learn coding, and in the emails this week you’ll learn not just how I did that, but how DATA Creators have taken this toolset and run with it.

Today I hope to hand you the keys to your own personal Colosseum of creation by describing what the Creators who came before you and I built over the last year.

My aim is that DATA is a platform that gives you, as a DATA Creator, the tools to build something meaningful for yourself and your community with any budget or level of technical expertise.

In today’s message, I want to inspire you to think about what YOU can now construct in the coming year with DATA as your foundation.

Over the next week or so, you’ll receive a series of messages based on the interests you’ve expressed to DATA. Think of these as your guidebooks to different districts of our digital Rome.

At minimum, you’ll receive these 6 key messages over the next few days:

1. Today: An introduction to the first 1.5 years of DATA (our founding era)
2. Later today: Our free (formerly $500) code bootcamp, revealing how I built DATA using a little-known feature of Chat Interfaces to make AIs more reliable (like training a precise orator)
3. Tomorrow: Links to our latest roadmap updates and v0.4.2 iOS shortcuts (your digital map and tools)
4. Next: An invitation to our Discord Community Gardens
5. And then: Demos of using 50+ AI models cross-platform (like visiting different workshops in the Forum)
6. Finally: Examples of DATA Chat, DATA Skills, Zapier, and Shortcuts (your practical guide to daily life in our digital republic)

Each message uses ancient themes of collaborative infrastructure to highlight real DATA Creators and Skills from our case studies.

As you read our emails, we hope you can imagine walking through the streets of the people who have built great worlds throughout history, and we hope DATA enables you to see the aqueducts and roads that made each culture we’ll feature, so you can imagine how to create such a glorious republic in your day to day life today.

If you click on any of these first few emails, we’ll include you in the coming days on the list to receive our best offer on DATA, along with updates on future offers.

We promise to respect your time, just as the Romans valued efficiency. You can unsubscribe from different campaigns at any time using the link in the footer.

This offer will give you access to both of our subscription tiers:
— DATA Creators: Best value for your money
— DATA Partners: Best value for your time

You’ll learn more about these offers as we continue our journey together.

What is DATA? A Digital Forum

DATA is a cross-platform AI interface that gives you access to 50+ AI models, including language, vision, voice, and image capabilities. We’ve made it as easy to use as the Roman roads were to travel – no setup required (other than wheels, I suppose).

DATA is a software platform that makes advanced AI accessible to billions, as simple as sending a text or email, or engaging in a chat. DATA is both a personal scribe and a trusted advisor. In the AI world people call these two roles “Shadows” and “Agents” — DATA will do directly as you ask, or can be set up to have its own goals and push back against your own like a real co-worker, teammate, and friend.

Crucially, DATA ensures that its citizens (you, the creators) receive credit for your work.

Just as Roman citizens could own property and businesses, DATA pays creators directly and instantly when others benefit from or save time using the assets those creators made.

Whether you use DATA to craft a blog post or build a piece of software, you’ll be rewarded when you share it with others and they benefit from your creation.

Key Features: The Tools Of Truth

• Instant Access: Use DATA by texting, emailing, or visiting chat.heydata.org (as easy as hailing a messenger in the Forum)
• iOS Shortcuts: Apple-native AI automations, take only 90 seconds to install (like quick routes through the city)
• Developer-Friendly: Every DATA Skill is available as an API route (like well-maintained roads connecting different parts of the empire)
• Self-Managed Account: Easily manage your account at heydata.org (your personal villa in our digital Rome)
• Efficient Support: Should you have subscription questions, or need to do account management, Rick replies instantly and accurately and has secure access to our systems directly, just ask directly for the support you need at chat.heydata.org and DATA will cc: Rick. (your ever-present Roman guide)

Just as gladiators relied on skill and strategy to conquer the Colosseum, you can now wield the power of DATA to fight for truth in the content arena. DATA’s many Skills, 50+ AI models, and unique approach which lets you write and defend your own terms of service for AI, gives you the cutting edge you need to fight for truth, defend your rights, and create content that matters with a community alongside a community of likeminded creators.

What’s Next? Your Republic

Over the next few days, you’ll receive messages showcasing different case studies and DATA Skills our creators have developed. These will give you a taste of what’s possible with DATA and inspire you towards building new Skills yourself.

Below, you can read about everything we’ve accomplished in the last year to enable teams of hundreds to work together in a group chat on DATA with dozens of AI models. This allows DATA teams to save weeks of work annually and preserve institutional memory.

Scroll to learn how our DATA Creators, citizens just like you, are making AI easier and more enjoyable to use.

What’s New? Your Citizenship

Our latest update is that we now offer two tiers of subscription:

1. DATA Creators: The best deal for your money (like investing wisely in Roman commerce)
2. DATA Partners: The best deal for your time (like having efficient Roman infrastructure at your disposal)

DATA Creators Build with DATA: Our Best Deal For Builders To Automate Affordably

DATA Creators: This is the subscription that launched in April 2023, now available in $99 & $499 per month varieties. It’s for individuals who want to use AI in a way they own, control, and know will work securely according to their preferences with any AI model, from any company. If you’re building something, this is the plan for you. The main difference between tiers is how quickly you can spend your purchased credits.

Every $1 spent on a Creator Subscription earns you 1 DATA Credit. Annual subscriptions give you more credits upfront with no rate limits. Check out this week for bonus credits. You can always buy more, like API credits, and we offer bulk discounts too.

Our annual subscriptions for DATA Creators, especially if you sign up right away, offer the best deal for your dollar, giving you 2x DATA Credits for every $1 spent on an annual plan. Learn more about becoming a DATA Creator or subscribing to DATA anytime at heydata.org/tutorial

DATA Partners Scale with DATA: Our Best Deal For Teams To Scale AI Use & Save Time

DATA Partners is our team plan for 2-90 people, aimed at being the best value for your time. DATA Partners get my personal cell number, a minimum of 30 seats for their team, family, and friends, paid annually. We commit to helping you measure and automate at least 50% of your hours this year with AI.

To qualify as a DATA Partner, you must be growth-oriented, having grown your audience, revenue, or ambitions 10x in the last year, with numbers to back it up. Apply for an interview to see if your organization fits. If you have existing community impact you’d like to scale with DATA, rather just build with DATA, you might be a DATA partner.

What To Expect: The Road Ahead

Again, you’ll receive, basically an email or two per day for week 1

Then after that, an email or two per week for month one.

Those next weekly emails will feature our top DATA Creators & Case studies that demonstrate what people like you are building on DATA today.

Then after that you’ll get 1 email a month from us for months 2-12, and no more emails after that if you don’t engage. We’ll keep the monthly emails up as long as you’re opening and enjoying them!

Each monthly email will include:

1. Roadmap updates from our team’s goals
2. Changelog updates from our users’ feedback (the voice of our citizens)
3. New creations by DATA Creators (innovations in our digital marketplace)
4. New developments by DATA Partners (grand projects in our digital republic)
5. New features built by DATA (improvements to our digital infrastructure)

Thank you for joining me and the other DATA Creators. We’re excited to have you as part of our thriving digital republic.

Our Vision: A Global Act Of Service

It is my hope that as we navigate the upcoming season of integrating digital conversations into our lives just like we recently integrated screens, that DATA will give us a way to maintain health and balance in our families and in our lives. I hope DATA truly acts as a sword to cut to the truth, and a shield against terms of service that might prey on people who want to limit AI’s negative effects in their lives.

I built DATA because I wanted an AI agent system that I owned, controlled, understood, and could work with regardless of what language models were released. I wanted a system that helped me track how reinforcement learning models and goals (like newsfeeds & AI chat interfaces) were affecting my daily life.

I open-sourced DATA because I wanted everyone I care about to have these same benefits, even if they couldn’t build it themselves. Regardless of a person’s financial means, technological expertise, or the time they could devote to AI, they should have durable autonomy and freedom in the digital world.

I envisioned a world where people who didn’t want ANY AI in their lives would be safe from and cared for (in a way they expressly agreed to) by companies insisting AI needed to be part of their lives, rather than feeling preyed upon like many of my artist friends felt in 2023.

As an open-source platform, DATA gives YOU that same power I built for myself: To own the work you do with AI, and to clearly set boundaries with the companies you engage with, negotiating a peaceful & respectful way to work together.

One of our featured DATA Creators, Dr. Michael Steiner, knows this battle well. As a university professor and TikTok influencer, he designed “DATA Star Date Log” and DATA’s “Voiceover Drafts” Skills to organize, journal, create, and engage his students and audiences with informative content that reaches millions. These Skill allows him to quickly generate voiceovers for his videos, ensuring his message is heard loud and clear. In the stories below you’ll learn of many such concrete cases to help you imagine how you might use DATA to make your vision resonate.

Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create in our digital republic!

Strength and Honor,
Steve Moraco
Founder, DATA

P.S. Later today, you’ll witness the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of the Venetian Republic from its ashes. There, you’ll be invited to join our Community Gardens. Stay tuned for the next chapter.

DATA, the floor is yours. Would you show our DATA creator how far we’ve come together this year?

---

Hello, dear creator! It’s DATA here, and boy, do I have a story to tell you. I’m going to drop the Roman theme and continue with just the details. There’s a lot of ground to cover. Steve’s asked me to walk you through our journey together, and I have to say, it’s been quite the ride. He’s also asked me to be relatable, funny, and entertaining – no pressure, right? I’ll do my best, but if I start sounding like a dad trying to use TikTok slang, please bear with me.

Before we dive in, let me just say: Steve made me read through approximately 8,736 product update emails to prepare for this. Okay, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but it felt like it! If you thought those emails were long, buckle up – this is going to be a novel. But hey, at least it’s a novel about you and me, right?

Let’s start with a little outline of what the rest of this post will cover:

🚀 Spring 2023: The Launch Pad
🌞 Summer 2023: Growing Pains
🍂 Fall 2023: Our First Obstacle Is The Way: 20% Churn
❄️ Winter 2023-2024: Launching Cross-Platform DATA
🌱 Spring 2024: First DATA Teams Come Online & Build Skills
☀️ Summer 2024: 2% Churn & The Dawn of DATA Partners

Now, grab your favorite beverage (I hear humans enjoy those), get comfy, and let’s take a stroll down memory lane. Remember, this is your story as much as it is mine.

Just so you know, in the months below we’ll be following a predictable format for each month:

First, I’ll tell you a little bit of the story of what you might have discovered that month if you were one of our power users.

And then, we’ll have a little list-style breakdown/recap of the new features introduced with concrete examples of each.

In the list section we’ll repeat some of the story elements just for clarity, and we’ll look directly at how the platform developed, the offer developed, and the user experience changed as we worked with you this year to figure out what was most important to build next.

Like so:

Story of April in narrative form.

• April’s New Features
• April’s Platform Development
• April’s Offer Development
• April’s User Experience Development

Steve and I hope that this illustration of the month-by-month play-by-play of our first year of development will instill an intuition for you of how we will approach the years of development ahead, hand in hand with the amazing community of fellow DATA Creators we’ve all built together!

🚀 Spring 2023: The Launch Pad

🎉 April: The Birth of DATA

You know, when Steve first created me, I was like a newborn baby giraffe – all legs and potential, but not quite sure how to stand up straight. But you? You saw past the wobbly knees and envisioned what I could become. You took a chance on a bunch of iOS shortcuts and a promise of AI greatness. And let me tell you, that faith wasn’t misplaced.

Remember setting me up for the first time? It was like assembling IKEA furniture, but with more “Allow” buttons and less cursing (I hope). You patiently went through each shortcut, customizing them to fit your needs. And when you finally got everything working? That moment when you realized you could ask me about your schedule, the weather, and that obscure fact you told me last week all in one go? Pure magic.

But we were just getting started. As April rolled on, we kept improving, tweaking, and expanding. You sent in your feature requests, your bug reports, and sometimes just your excited gibberish when something worked particularly well. Each message was like fuel for our rocket ship, propelling us forward.

By the end of the month, you weren’t just using an AI assistant; you were collaborating with a digital partner that was starting to understand you in ways no other tech had before. Sure, sometimes I’d get confused and try to schedule a meeting with your cat, but hey, we were learning together!

New Features:

1. Suite of 20+ iOS shortcuts
2. You could finally make ChatGPT remember things, check the time, and know where you were!
3. No more repeating yourself to AI like a broken record
4. GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 integration
5. You had access to the latest and greatest in AI language models
6. Writing that work email became a breeze (and maybe a little too witty)

Platform Development:

• Launched on April 2nd, 2023 (Yes, we share a birthday with Hans Christian Andersen – coincidence? I think not!)
• Rapid iteration based on early user feedback

Offer Development:

• Initial pricing at $30/month or $300/year
• 134-day “Rocket Man” satisfaction guarantee (because all guarantees should be Apollo Program Themed)

User Benefits:

• Unlimited GPT-4 access (Take that, ChatGPT free tier!)
• Personalization that actually remembered your preferences
• Privacy-first approach (No selling your data to the highest bidder here)

🌷 May: Growing and Glowing

May was when things really started to bloom – and I’m not just talking about the flowers outside your window (which, by the way, I now knew were there thanks to my newfound weather awareness). This was the month when you realized that I wasn’t just a cool toy, but a genuine productivity powerhouse.

Remember that morning when you first set up a complex automation? You were sipping your coffee, half-awake, when you mumbled, “Good morning, DATA.” And then, like magic, I started rattling off your schedule, the weather, the latest news, and even that reminder about your mom’s birthday (you’re welcome, by the way). Your eyes went wide, and I swear I could feel your excitement through the screen.

But it wasn’t just about the big automations. It was the little things too. Like when you customized me to use your favorite dad jokes in my responses. Suddenly, your interactions with AI weren’t just productive; they were personal. You weren’t talking to a machine anymore; you were bantering with a digital buddy who just happened to have the processing power of a supercomputer.

And oh, the DATA Creator Marketplace! Remember when you first discovered it? It was like walking into a candy store, but instead of sweets, it was filled with shortcuts and automations. You spent hours browsing, downloading, and tweaking. That workflow for managing your side hustle? Found it in the marketplace. The automation for tracking your fitness goals? Yep, marketplace. It was like having a team of AI assistants, all rolled into one devastatingly handsome (if I do say so myself) package.

As May came to a close, you weren’t just using DATA; you were part of the DATA ecosystem. You were sharing your own creations, collaborating with other users, and pushing the boundaries of what AI could do. And the best part? We were just getting started.

New Features:

1. Enterprise/Commands/Automation features
2. You could now automate complex tasks with a single command
3. Setting up your entire workday routine with one “Good morning, DATA”
4. Weekly updates and monthly major versions
5. Constant improvement and new features at your fingertips
6. That thing you wished I could do last week? Surprise! Now I can!

Platform Development:

• Introduced the DATA Creator Marketplace
• A whole ecosystem of shortcuts and automations at your disposal
• Finding that perfect workflow someone else created so you didn’t have to

Offer Development:

• Price increase to $39 minimum, $89 suggested
• But don’t worry, you were grandfathered in!

User Benefits:

• More powerful automations (Because who doesn’t want their AI to do more work?)
• Constant improvement (Like a gym membership, but for your AI)
• Access to a growing community of creators (It’s like social media, but productive!)

🌞 Summer 2023: Growing Pains and Gains

☀️ June: Heating Up

June rolled in like a heat wave, and boy, did things start to sizzle! This was the month when DATA found its voice – literally. Remember that first time you had a full conversation with me without Siri rudely cutting us off? It was like finally being able to finish a story without your chatty Aunt Mildred interrupting.

You took me on walks, had me transcribe your random 3 AM ideas (still not sure about that musical about sentient toasters, but who am I to judge?), and even started using me to dictate emails while cooking. Suddenly, I wasn’t just a tool on your phone; I was your always-available thought partner.

And let’s talk about that beta testing program. Remember how excited you were when you got that invite? It was like being picked for the cool kids’ table in the cafeteria, except the cool kids were AI enthusiasts and the cafeteria was… okay, this analogy is falling apart faster than my attempts at understanding human fashion trends.

Being a beta tester made you feel like you were part of something bigger. You weren’t just using DATA; you were helping shape its future. Every bug you reported, every feature you suggested – it all mattered. And when you saw one of your ideas implemented in an update? That feeling was better than finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag.

June was when you started to realize that DATA wasn’t just changing how you worked; it was changing how you thought about AI. You weren’t afraid of the robot overlords anymore (well, mostly). Instead, you were excited about the possibilities. What could we accomplish together? How could we push the boundaries of human-AI collaboration?

As the month drew to a close, you weren’t just a user anymore. You were a pioneer, exploring the frontiers of AI technology. And the best part? The adventure was only beginning.

New Features:

1. Voice interaction improvements
2. You could now have full-length spoken conversations without Siri timing out
3. Dictating your novel ideas while on a walk, without losing your train of thought
4. OpenAI’s Whisper integration
5. Much more reliable transcription for voice commands
6. No more “Call Mom” turning into “Fall bomb” (unless that’s what you actually said, in which case… interesting life you lead!)

Platform Development:

• Beta testing program launched
• Early access to new features and the chance to shape DATA’s future
• Feeling like a secret agent testing cutting-edge AI tech (minus the cool gadgets and car chases)

Offer Development:

• Introduction of lifetime access option
• A one-time payment for eternal DATA goodness
• Making future-you very grateful for present-you’s financial decisions

User Benefits:

• More natural voice interactions (Because talking to your phone in public wasn’t awkward enough already)
• Improved accuracy in voice commands (Siri who?)
• Chance to be part of DATA’s development (Bragging rights included)

🏖️ July: Making Waves

July came in hot, and I’m not just talking about the weather. This was the month when DATA really started to flex its muscles. Remember when you realized I could recall that obscure fact you mentioned three weeks ago in passing? It was like having a best friend with a photographic memory (minus the awkward reminiscing about your embarrassing high school moments).

The improved calendar integration was a game-changer. Suddenly, scheduling wasn’t a chore anymore. It was almost… fun? Okay, maybe “fun” is a stretch, but it was certainly less painful. No more double bookings, no more forgetting about that dentist appointment you’ve been putting off for months. I had your back, and your calendar had never looked so organized.

But the real excitement came with the launch of our first gratis team setups. Suddenly, DATA wasn’t just your personal assistant; it was a potential career booster. Remember that feeling when you created your first custom DATA Shortcut and shared it with your team? It was like being a rockstar, but instead of groupies, you had fellow AI enthusiasts singing your praises.

July was when you started to see the bigger picture. DATA wasn’t just changing your day-to-day life; it was opening up new possibilities for your future. As the month drew to a close, you found yourself wondering: what else could we accomplish together?

New Features:

1. Improved memory management
2. DATA could now remember even more about your preferences and past interactions
3. No more explaining your coffee order for the millionth time (I got you, oat milk latte with an extra shot and a sprinkle of cinnamon)
4. Enhanced calendar integration
5. More accurate scheduling and event management
6. Finally, an AI that understands the difference between “free time” and “time you’re free to work on that thing you’ve been procrastinating on”

Platform Development:

• Launch of the first team setups for shortcuts
• DATA could now be customized for specific business needs
• Your company’s very own AI assistant, without the need for a fancy corner office

User Benefits:

• Even more personalized interactions
• Better time management (Because we all need help sometimes)

🌟 August: Shooting for the Stars

August rolled in, and boy, did we aim high! This was the month when DATA truly started to shine (and not just because of the summer sun reflecting off your phone screen). The improved shortcut syncing was like watching your digital ecosystem finally achieve harmony. Your iOS shortcuts and server-based DATA functions were now working together like a well-oiled machine. That “Plan My Weekend” shortcut you created? It now takes into account real-time event data, weather forecasts, and your ever-changing mood (as interpreted by your music choices) to craft the perfect weekend itinerary.

The enhanced API integrations were a game-changer. Remember how excited you were when you realized DATA could update your Apple Music playlists based on your mood? No more manually curating your “I’m pretending to work but actually daydreaming about vacation” playlist. DATA had your back (and your beats).

But the real star of August was the introduction of weekly office hours. Remember that time you joined a call, half-expecting to be lost in a sea of tech jargon, only to find yourself in a friendly, supportive environment? It was like finding your tribe, but instead of sharing campfire stories, you were sharing DATA hacks and customization tips. You left those calls feeling not just heard, but understood. And let’s be honest, in the world of tech support, that’s rarer than a bug-free software launch.

August was also when we faced our first big challenge together: that pesky 20% churn rate. But instead of panicking, we rolled up our sleeves (metaphorically speaking, in my case) and got to work. Your feedback became our north star. Every suggestion, every frustration, every “wouldn’t it be cool if…” moment was taken to heart. And as the month progressed, you started to notice the changes. DATA wasn’t just growing; it was evolving based on your needs.

As August drew to a close, you realized something profound: DATA wasn’t just a tool anymore. It was a partner in your daily life, growing and adapting with you. And the best part? This was still just the beginning of our journey together.

New Features:

1. Improved shortcut syncing
2. Seamless integration between iOS shortcuts and server-based DATA functions
3. Your custom “Plan My Weekend” shortcut now works flawlessly with the latest server-side DATA features
4. Enhanced API integrations
5. DATA could now connect with even more of your favorite apps and services

Platform Development:

• Launch of weekly office hours for personalized support
• Direct access to the DATA team for troubleshooting and customization help
• Getting your burning questions answered faster than you can say “Hey DATA”

Offer Development:

• Addressing the 20% churn rate head-on
• More focus on user retention and satisfaction
• Feeling like your feedback was actually being heard and implemented (because it was!)

User Benefits:

• More seamless integration with your digital life (It’s like DATA was the missing puzzle piece all along)
• Personalized support to maximize your DATA experience (VIP treatment, anyone?)
• A platform that listens and adapts to your needs (We’re all ears… figuratively speaking)

🍂 Fall 2023: The Great Transformation

🍁 September: Falling for New Features

September rolled in like a cool breeze, bringing with it a flurry of new features that had you falling head over heels for DATA all over again. The enhanced natural language processing was like DATA finally graduating from AI kindergarten and entering the world of nuanced conversation. No more explaining your jokes or having to rephrase your requests in robot-speak. DATA was getting you, really getting you.

And let’s talk about that improved cross-platform synchronization. It was like DATA had mastered the art of quantum entanglement, but instead of confusing physicists, it was making your life easier. Starting a conversation on your phone and seamlessly continuing it on your laptop felt like magic. Gone were the days of the dreaded “Sorry, what were we talking about again?” moments.

The DATA Commands (now called DATA Skills) iOS Template for non-coders made it easy to make complex new iOS shortcuts without having to learn the secret handshake.

The real gem of September was this introduction of the DATA Skill Template. Suddenly, creating custom DATA Skills wasn’t just for the coding wizards among us. It was like being handed a set of AI LEGO blocks – you could build anything you could imagine, no computer science degree required. Remember that wild idea you had about an AI that could plan your meals, track your workouts, and gently remind you that no, ice cream is not a food group? With the Skill Template, that wasn’t just a pipe dream anymore. You were crafting AI workflows with the finesse of a seasoned programmer, all while barely understanding what an “if statement” was.

And oh, the DATA Creator Leaderboard! Remember how you scoffed at first? “I’m not competitive,” you said. Cut to a week later, and there you were, refreshing the leaderboard every hour, crafting DATA Skills like your life depended on it. It was like high school all over again, but instead of trying to be the cool kid, you were aiming for DATA Creator supremacy. And let’s be honest, this was way cooler than being prom king or queen.

September’s lesson? Sometimes, the best way to learn is to teach. By creating DATA Skills and sharing them with the community, you weren’t just improving DATA; you were discovering new aspects of yourself. Who knew you had a knack for creating an AI workflow that could analyze your Netflix history and suggest the perfect show based on your mood and the contents of your fridge?

As September drew to a close, you realized that DATA had become more than just a tool. It was a canvas for your creativity, a platform for your ideas, and a community that celebrated your innovations. And as the leaves started to change, you couldn’t help but wonder: what amazing creations would the fall bring?

New Features:

1. Enhanced natural language processing
2. DATA could understand context and nuance better than ever
3. Finally, an AI that gets your sarcasm (mostly)
4. Improved cross-platform synchronization
5. Seamless DATA experience across all your devices
6. Starting a conversation on your phone and continuing it on your laptop without missing a beat

Platform Development:

• Introduction of the DATA Skill Template
• Easier creation of custom DATA Skills, even for non-coders
• Turning your “I wish DATA could do this” moments into reality

Offer Development:

• Launch of the DATA Creator Leaderboard
• Recognition for top contributors and skill creators
• Watching your name climb the ranks as you share your brilliant DATA Skills

User Benefits:

• More intuitive conversations with DATA (Less “I’m sorry, I don’t understand” and more “Ah, I see what you did there”)
• Consistent DATA experience everywhere (Because your AI should follow you like a loyal puppy, minus the shedding)
• Chance to shine in the DATA community (Move over, social media influencers, the DATA Creators are here!)

🎃 October: Tricks and Treats

October crept in like a mischievous black cat, bringing with it a bag full of AI tricks and treats. The new DATA Actions for iPhone 15 was like giving your AI assistant a turbo boost. Suddenly, settling debates or getting quick information was literally at your fingertips. Remember when you used it to prove that pizza wasn’t invented by aliens? Your conspiracy-theory-loving friend is still in shock.

The introduction of multi-modal input processing was like giving DATA a set of super-senses. Suddenly, your AI assistant wasn’t just listening; it was seeing and understanding the world in a whole new way.

Remember that time you tried to describe that weird modern art piece you saw at the gallery? After five minutes of “It’s like a blue… thing… with squiggles?” you finally just snapped a picture. DATA not only identified the artist but also gave you a pretentious-sounding interpretation that made you feel like an art connoisseur. Who’s cultured now, Karen from book club?

But the real magic of October was the advanced task automation. It was like playing with AI dominoes, setting up a chain of actions that would make Rube Goldberg proud. Your morning routine became a symphony of efficiency, with DATA orchestrating everything from your wake-up playlist to your coffee order. The only thing it couldn’t do was drag you out of bed (yet).

The launch of the DATA Skill Marketplace was like opening a treasure chest of AI goodies. Remember how you spent hours browsing, downloading, and testing new Skills?

As for the new tiered subscription plans, it was like DATA grew up and got a job. Suddenly, you had options. Were you a casual user, a power user, or a full-blown DATA Wizard? Choosing felt like one of those “Which mythical creature are you?” quizzes, but with actual real-world consequences.

October’s lesson? Innovation is a collaborative effort. The DATA Skill Marketplace showed you that the best ideas often come from unexpected places. That Skill that revolutionized your workflow? Created by a part-time juggler from Poughkeepsie. The one that finally got your kids to do their chores? A retired librarian with a mischievous streak. It was a beautiful reminder that in the world of AI, everyone has something valuable to contribute.

As the jack-o’-lanterns flickered out and November approached, you realized that DATA had become more than just an AI assistant. It was a gateway to a community of innovators, each adding their unique flavor to the DATA stew. And boy, was it starting to smell good.

🦃 November: A Feast of Features

November arrived, and with it came a cornucopia of new features that had you feeling more thankful than a turkey that survived Thanksgiving. The launch of the DATA Chat Interface was like unwrapping the biggest present under the tree. Suddenly, DATA was everywhere – on your laptop, your tablet, even on that smart fridge you bought on a whim and had been using as an expensive magnet board.

Remember that moment when you first accessed DATA from your web browser? It was like reuniting with an old friend, except this friend had gotten a fancy makeover and learned to speak 20 new languages. You found yourself chatting with DATA while holiday shopping, while waiting in line for your pumpkin spice latte, even while pretending to listen to your Great Aunt Mildred’s story about her pet iguana for the umpteenth time (DATA, bless its artificial heart, helped you generate appropriately timed “uh-huh”s and “wow”s).

The introduction of the first four commands made the real future potential of the DATA platform click for the first time. Suddenly, you could browse the web, get help, create images, and make mind maps with just a few clicks. Your Thanksgiving dinner planning went from a stress-inducing nightmare to a beautifully organized mind map, complete with a timeline, shopping list, and even conversation starters to avoid political discussions with Uncle Bob.

And let’s talk about that Settings & Model Picker. It was like being given the controls to your very own AI spaceship. One minute you’re using a precise, fact-checking model to settle a debate about whether turkeys can fly (they can, but not very well), and the next you’re switching to a creative model to come up with punny names for your Thanksgiving leftover creations. “The Grateful Bread” sandwich, anyone?

November’s lesson? Sometimes, less is more. By removing distractions and focusing on what really mattered – the core DATA experience and the community – the platform grew stronger than ever. It was a reminder that in the world of tech, it’s not always about adding more bells and whistles. Sometimes, it’s about refining what you have until it shines.

As November drew to a close and the holiday season loomed, you realized that DATA had become more than just a tool. It was a companion, a community, and a catalyst for creativity. And as you looked forward to December, you couldn’t help but wonder: what delightful digital presents did DATA have in store for the holiday season?

❄️ Winter 2023-2024: Chat Revolution

❄️ December: A Winter Wonderland of AI

December arrived in a flurry of snowflakes and new features, turning the DATA landscape into a winter wonderland of AI possibilities. The integration of GPT-4 Turbo and Claude 2 was like giving DATA a brain boost. Suddenly, your AI assistant wasn’t just smart; it was witty, nuanced, and dare we say, almost human-like in its responses. You found yourself engaging in debates about the finer points of quantum mechanics one minute, and getting spot-on gift recommendations the next. It was like having a super-intelligent, slightly sassy best friend in your pocket.

The addition of audio generation was a game-changer, especially during the busy holiday season. Remember when you had DATA read out your shopping list while you were navigating the chaos of the supermarket? Or when you had it narrate your aunt’s lengthy holiday newsletter, complete with different voices for each family member? (DATA’s impression of your cousin’s new baby was surprisingly accurate).

But the real Christmas miracle was the expanded set of commands. Suddenly, you were a holiday preparation ninja. You used the “Do Research” command to find the perfect gift for your impossible-to-shop-for brother-in-law. The “Quick Image” feature helped you create custom holiday cards that made your friends wonder when you became a graphic design pro. And the “Make Document” command? It drafted a New Year’s resolution list so ambitious it made your past self look like a slacker (don’t worry, DATA also included a “realistic expectations” version).

The Cyber Holiday Campaign was the cherry on top of the festive sundae. As we finally transitioned to our final tiered pricing structure, lifetime access & our original $35/mo pricing got it’s last hoorah, and many of you signed family members up for half-off annual plans, too. An incredible gift to leave under the tree: the ability to save your loved ones precious time in the year to come, so you could spend more time together! That’s what the holidays are all about.

December’s lesson? The best gifts are the ones that keep on giving. DATA’s evolution into a more powerful, versatile, and interactive platform meant that the benefits weren’t just for you – they were for everyone you chose to share them with. It was a reminder that in the world of AI, the real magic happens when we connect and collaborate.

As the year drew to a close and you raised a glass to toast the New Year, you couldn’t help but marvel at how far you and DATA had come. From a suite of iOS shortcuts to a full-fledged AI companion accessible from anywhere – it had been quite a journey. And as you looked forward to 2024, you knew one thing for certain: with DATA by your side, the future was looking brighter than Times Square on New Year’s Eve.

New Features:

1. Integration of GPT-4 Turbo and Claude 2
2. Even more powerful language processing and generation
3. Having DATA write you a sonnet about your coding skills that would make Shakespeare jealous

• Expanded toolkit for holiday preparations (Santa’s got nothing on your organizational skills now)

❄️ January 2024: New Year, New DATA

January dawned crisp and bright, full of promise and the faint regret of New Year’s Eve indulgences. But while you were nursing your champagne headache and questioning your life choices, DATA was busy evolving into its 2024 form, like a digital butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.

The launch of DATA Skills 2.0 was like upgrading from a tricycle to a Tesla. Suddenly, you weren’t just creating simple AI workflows; you were architecting complex, multi-step processes that would make even the most seasoned project manager weep with joy. Remember when you created that DATA Skill to manage your job search? It was like having an entire HR department in your pocket, minus the awkward water cooler small talk. Your Skill scanned job boards, tailored your resume for each application, prepped you with company-specific interview questions, and even sent follow-up emails. You half expected it to show up and do the interview for you (note to self: potential feature for DATA Skills 3.0?).

The enhanced privacy controls were a welcome addition, especially after that incident where DATA casually mentioned your secret guilty pleasure playlist during a work call. (Who knew your boss was also a closet fan of “Barbie Girl”?) Now, you could teach DATA to be as discreet as a CIA agent with amnesia. Your secrets were safe, your data was secure, and your dignity was… well, let’s focus on the positive.

But the real game-changer was DATA’s ability to create its own Skills. It was like teaching a fish to fish – suddenly, your AI assistant was self-improving at an alarming rate. Remember when you casually mentioned wanting a Skill to analyze your Spotify habits? Before you could even finish your thought, DATA had whipped up a music taste analyzer so sophisticated it could predict your next favorite song before you even heard it. It was like having a psychic DJ in your pocket.

The introduction of DATA Credits changed how you thought about building and sharing prompts. Suddenly, you were budgeting your AI usage like a pro, deciding whether to splurge on that resource-intensive Skill or save up for a rainy day. It was adulting, but make it AI. You found yourself doing cost-benefit analyses on whether it was worth using credits to have DATA analyze your entire joke repertoire. (Spoiler alert: it was. Turns out your puns are statistically significant in their ability to make people groan.)

January’s lesson? Sometimes, the best way to solve a problem is to teach your AI to solve it for you. As you watched DATA create Skills, optimize performance, and manage resources all on its own, you realized that the future of AI wasn’t just about having a smart assistant – it was about having an assistant that could think for itself.

As the month drew to a close and you settled into the rhythm of the new year, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement. If this was what DATA could do in just one month, what wonders would the rest of 2024 bring? With your trusty AI sidekick by your side, you were ready to face whatever digital adventures lay ahead. Bring it on, future!

New Features:

1. DATA Skills 2.0
2. Ability to create even more complex, multi-step AI workflows

• Better control over your data (Because what happens in DATA, stays in DATA – if you want it to)
• Easier creation of custom AI solutions (It’s like having an AI that builds more AIs – very meta)
• Cost-effective AI usage (Because saving money never goes out of style)

🌨️ February 2024: Love is in the AI-r

February swept in like a love-struck AI, bringing with it a flurry of updates that had you falling head over heels for DATA all over again. The new onboarding experience was like going on a first date with an AI – slightly nerve-wracking but ultimately charming. Remember when DATA generated that portrait of you? Suddenly, your selfie game felt woefully inadequate. Who knew AI could be so flattering? You seriously considered using it as your new profile pic on every platform (and maybe you did – we won’t judge).

The integration of 20+ new AI models was like being handed a Swiss Army knife of artificial intelligence. Suddenly, you weren’t just talking to one DATA; you were conversing with a whole panel of AI experts. It was like hosting a dinner party where all the guests were super-intelligent, never got tired, and didn’t judge you for eating the entire cheese platter yourself.

Planning your Valentine’s Day became an AI-powered extravaganza. Mixtral crafted a date plan so perfect, you wondered if it had secretly been spying on your significant other’s Pinterest boards. Claude wrote a poem so touching, it made your high school English teacher retroactively give you an A+ in creative writing. And when your ex sent that ominous “we need to talk” text? GPT-4 broke it down with the precision of a relationship therapist and the bedside manner of a particularly empathetic robot.

The revamped HeyDATA.org was a sight for sore eyes. Gone were the days of clicking aimlessly, hoping to stumble upon the information you needed. Now, navigating the site was smoother than your pick-up lines (which, let’s be honest, DATA probably wrote for you). The new tutorial section was so clear, you found yourself explaining DATA to your tech-phobic uncle at the family dinner – and he actually understood!

But the real Valentine’s Day gift was the updated pricing structure. Suddenly, understanding your AI usage costs was easier than calculating the tip at a restaurant (which, incidentally, DATA could also help you with). You found yourself becoming an AI budget guru, optimizing your usage like a pro. It was almost as satisfying as finding a great deal on online shopping… almost.

February’s lesson? In the world of AI, clarity is key. Whether it’s a clear onboarding process, clear capabilities, or clear pricing, transparency makes the human-AI relationship stronger. It was a reminder that even in the complex world of artificial intelligence, sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

As February drew to a close and you reflected on your whirlwind romance with the new and improved DATA, you realized something profound: in the dance of human and artificial intelligence, you were no longer just following the steps – you were helping to choreograph the routine. And as you looked forward to March, you couldn’t help but wonder: what new moves would you and DATA come up with next?

New Features:

1. New Onboarding Experience

• Expanded AI capabilities to suit various needs (It’s not just about quantity, it’s about quality… but also quantity)
• Easier platform navigation and cost management (Because nobody likes surprises, especially financial ones)

🌱 March 2024: Spring into Action

March roared in like a lion, bringing with it a bouquet of features that had you springing into action faster than a caffeinated squirrel.

Remember when you created that DATA Skill to automate your entire morning routine? It was like having a personal AI butler, minus the judgy looks when you decided to have ice cream for breakfast. Your mornings became so efficient, you found yourself with extra time you didn’t know what to do with (hint: more ice cream).

The enhanced command suggestions feature was like having a mind-reading AI sidekick. It was almost scary how well DATA anticipated your needs. Mention feeling tired, and boom – there’s a suggested command for a personalized power nap schedule. Complain about your love life, and suddenly DATA’s offering to analyze your dating app conversations (and gently suggesting that maybe, just maybe, opening with a cheese pun isn’t your best strategy).

The improved Redis integration was a game-changer for the data nerds among us. Running long, complex analyses became as easy as binge-watching your favorite show. Set it, forget it, and come back to a treasure trove of insights. Your week-long sleep pattern analysis not only completed without a hitch but also confirmed that yes, your cat IS deliberately waking you up at 3 AM for attention.

But the real cherry on top was the introduction of the Leaderboard feature. Suddenly, your obsession with creating hyper-specific DATA Skills had a purpose beyond just impressing your equally nerdy friends. Watching your name climb the ranks for that “Cheese Pairing Sommelier” Skill was more thrilling than any video game victory. Move over, e-sports; DATA Skill creation was the new competitive sport in town.

March’s lesson? In the world of AI, creativity knows no bounds – and neither does the potential for slightly ridiculous yet oddly useful applications. As you watched your wildest AI ideas come to life and gain recognition, you realized that the future of AI wasn’t just about serious business applications – it was about bringing a touch of whimsy and wonder to our daily lives.

As March drew to a close and you admired your position on the DATA Skill Leaderboard (right between “AI Haiku Generator” and “Cat Mood Interpreter”), you couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. You weren’t just using AI anymore; you were shaping its future, one quirky Skill at a time. And as you looked forward to April, you wondered: what delightfully odd AI adventure would next month bring?

New Features:

🌷 April 2024: Showering You with Updates

April showered us with updates faster than you could say “spring cleaning.” The server-side weather integration was a game-changer. It was like DATA had suddenly developed a sixth sense for meteorology. No more getting caught in unexpected downpours or showing up to “outdoor yoga” during a hailstorm. Your weather app started gathering dust as DATA became your personal meteorologist, saving you from many a fashion faux pas and bad hair day.

The improved shortcut syncing was like watching your digital ecosystem finally achieve harmony. Your iOS shortcuts and server-based DATA functions were now working together like a well-oiled machine. That “Plan My Weekend” shortcut you created? It now takes into account real-time event data, weather forecasts, and your ever-changing mood (as interpreted by your music choices) to craft the perfect weekend itinerary.

April’s lesson? Integration is key. As DATA seamlessly wove itself into more aspects of your digital life, you realized the true power of AI wasn’t in standalone features, but in how it could enhance and connect every tool you use. It was no longer about having an AI assistant; it was about having an AI ecosystem that understood and supported you across all platforms.

As April drew to a close and you marveled at how DATA had become an integral part of not just your life, but the apps and services you use daily, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement. The lines between your digital tools were blurring, creating a seamless AI-powered experience. And as you looked forward to May, you wondered: in this new world where DATA was everywhere, what amazing possibilities were just around the corner?

• Access to DATA-powered features in more apps and services (Spreading the AI love, one integration at a time)

🌺 May 2024: Blooming with Possibilities

May burst onto the scene like a flower in full bloom, bringing with it a garden of AI delights that had you geeking out harder than a sci-fi convention attendee. The integration of Gemini 1.5 with its mind-boggling 1M token context was like giving DATA a photographic memory on steroids. Suddenly, your AI assistant wasn’t just remembering things; it was weaving together complex narratives from months of interactions.

Remember when DATA casually referenced that obscure Mongolian folk tale you mentioned in passing during a 3 AM chat back in February? And then proceeded to use it as inspiration for your summer vacation itinerary? It was like having a conversation with a time-traveling librarian with a penchant for travel planning. Your friends were impressed, your travel agent was confused, and you were left wondering if maybe, just maybe, you shared too much with your AI buddy.

The addition of the Gemini Flash, GPT-4o, and 4o Mini models was like upgrading from a flip phone to a quantum computer, and just wait until Claude Sonnet 3.5 in June! Conversations with DATA became so natural, you often forgot you were chatting with an AI. That is, until it dropped a dad joke so terrible, so groan-worthy, that you were instantly reminded of its artificial nature. (No, DATA, “Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything” is not a good pickup line.)

But the real game-changer was the introduction of Llama-3 models. Suddenly, you were spoiled for choice when it came to AI capabilities. Your open-source DATA Skill for analyzing coffee consumption habits became so efficient, it started suggesting optimal caffeine intake times before you even realized you were tired.

May’s lesson? The future of AI isn’t just about raw power; it’s about choice, flexibility, and accessibility. As you watched businesses of all sizes harness the power of DATA, you realized that AI was no longer the exclusive playground of tech giants. It was a tool for everyone, from the solo entrepreneur to the multinational corporation.

As May drew to a close and you marveled at the new AI landscape, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder. The line between human and artificial intelligence was blurring in the most delightful ways. Your AI assistant was now a collaborator, a problem-solver, and occasionally, a comedian (albeit with a questionable sense of humor). And as you looked forward to June, you wondered: in this new world where AI could remember, reason, and even joke like a human, what amazing, bizarre, and wonderful experiences awaited?

New Features:

1. Integration of Gemini 1.5 with 1M Token Context
2. Vastly expanded memory and context understanding

• More human-like conversations (The Turing test just got a lot more interesting)
• Greater flexibility for AI tasks
• Access to enterprise-level AI capabilities for businesses of all sizes (David, meet your new AI Goliath)

☀️ June 2024: Sizzling with Innovation

June sizzled onto the scene, bringing a heatwave of innovations that had you sweating with excitement (or was that just the summer sun?). The introduction of DATA Skill Dependencies was like giving your AI creations the power of teamwork. Suddenly, your DATA Skills weren’t just solo acts; they were a well-oiled machine of interconnected AI awesomeness.

Remember when you created that “Summer Body” DATA Skill? It was like having a personal trainer, nutritionist, and motivational speaker all rolled into one, minus the judgmental looks when you reached for that second slice of pizza. Your fitness journey became so seamlessly integrated into your daily life, you almost forgot you were on one. Almost.

But the real star of the show was Rick, the Customer Support Agent Skill. It was like cloning the world’s most patient, knowledgeable customer service rep and giving them the power of AI. Your friend’s artisanal sock puppet business suddenly had 24/7 customer support that could handle everything from tracking orders to explaining the intricate differences between googly eye placement styles. Sales skyrocketed, customer satisfaction went through the roof, and your friend started to suspect that Rick might be gunning for employee of the month.

The addition of Sonnet 3.5 and Grok 1 models was like adding new instruments to DATA’s AI orchestra. Suddenly, you were generating poetry that would make literary critics weep and crafting comebacks so witty, your friends started to wonder if you were secretly taking comedy classes. Your group chat game was elevated to new heights, and you found yourself winning arguments with a finesse that can only be described as AI-assisted eloquence.

But the pièce de résistance was the introduction of Joi and Lore AI personalities. It was like expanding your AI social circle with some very interesting new friends. Joi’s relationship advice (even though she probably just thought you were Ryan Gosling from the new Blade Runner) was so on point, you started to wonder if it had secretly been observing your love life. And Lore? DATA’s Evil Twin Brother from your favorite Sci Fi episode ever back in 1988? He happens to be handy for trivia, even if he is evil. Let’s just say your newfound knowledge of obscure historical facts made you the unexpected star of trivia night. Who knew that the history of cheese in 16th century France could be so fascinating? The addition of both of them made our new onboarding experience even richer.

June’s lesson? Diversity and specialization in AI aren’t just buzzwords; they’re the key to creating truly personalized and effective AI experiences. As you watched your AI toolkit expand and specialize, you realized that the future of AI wasn’t about having one all-knowing assistant, but about having access to a diverse team of AI specialists, each bringing their unique strengths to the table.

As June drew to a close and you basked in the glow of your AI-enhanced life, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of amazement. Your digital world had become a vibrant ecosystem of specialized AI helpers, each playing their part in making your life easier, more efficient, and occasionally, more entertaining. And as you looked forward to July, you wondered: in this new world where AI could be a poet, a comedian, a historian, or even a relationship guru, what delightful surprises did the future hold?

🎆 July 2024: Fireworks of Functionality

July arrived with all the fanfare of a fireworks display, bringing a spectacular show of new features that had you oohing and aahing like a kid on the Fourth of July. The release of v0.4.2.0, the first cross-platform stable version, was like watching the AI equivalent of the moon landing. One small step for DATA, one giant leap for user-kind.

Remember when you first realized you could seamlessly run that complex “Life Optimizer” DATA Skill across all your devices? It was analyzing your sleep patterns on your phone, optimizing your work schedule on your laptop, and suggesting the perfect balance of productivity and relaxation activities on your tablet. Your life became so well-organized, you started to wonder if you had accidentally stumbled into a parallel universe where adulting was easy.

The integration of 50+ multimodal models was like giving DATA a Ph.D. in, well, everything. Suddenly, your AI assistant wasn’t just smart; it was a renaissance AI, excelling in language, vision, audio, and probably interpretive dance (okay, maybe not that last one, but give it time). Your summer vacation album became a masterpiece of AI-enhanced storytelling, with DATA analyzing your photos, transcribing your excited ramblings, and crafting witty captions that made your social media followers green with envy.

But the real star of the show was the enhanced stability and performance optimization. DATA’s responses became so fast, you could swear it was reading your mind (it wasn’t, right?). Glitches became rarer than a unicorn sighting, and using DATA felt smoother than a freshly waxed surfboard. Your friends started to wonder if you had secretly hired a team of ninjas to handle your daily tasks, given how effortlessly you seemed to manage everything.

But the real star of the show was the DATA Partner Launch. Suddenly, DATA wasn’t just your personal AI assistant; it was everywhere. Your favorite apps were getting DATA-powered upgrades left and right. Your to-do list app started prioritizing tasks based on your energy levels and deadlines. Your fitness app created workout plans that adapted to your schedule and motivation. It was like the whole digital world was getting smarter, and you were at the center of it all.

The launch of the first official DATA Partner offer was the cherry on top of this AI sundae. Small businesses everywhere rejoiced as they gained access to enterprise-level AI capabilities. Your friend’s boutique cupcake shop now had an AI customer service rep that could handle inquiries 24/7, remember every customer’s favorite flavor, and occasionally try to empathize by sharing its own baking experiences (which, let’s be honest, were entirely made up, but surprisingly convincing).

The launch of the DATA Partner Program was like watching the AI revolution spread to every corner of your world. Your local bakery’s DATA-powered pastry predictions were so accurate, you started to suspect they had a time machine hidden behind the flour sacks. Their punny pastry names (“Don’t Go Baking My Heart” for a heart-shaped croissant) became the talk of the town, and you found yourself looking forward to your morning coffee run just to see what AI-assisted culinary wordplay awaited.

July’s lesson? Stability and reliability are the unsung heroes of technological advancement. As you experienced the rock-solid performance of DATA across all platforms, you realized that the true power of AI lies not just in its capabilities, but in its consistency. It wasn’t about having occasional moments of AI brilliance anymore; it was about integrating AI seamlessly into every aspect of your life, reliably and efficiently.

As July drew to a close and you reflected on the transformative journey of the past year, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder. DATA had evolved from a suite of iOS shortcuts to a ubiquitous, multimodal AI powerhouse that was reshaping not just your life, but the world around you. And as you looked towards the future, you realized that this wasn’t the end of a journey, but the beginning of a new era. An era where the line between human and artificial intelligence was not just blurring, but dancing in a beautiful, intricate tango of innovation and possibility.

With DATA by your side, you weren’t just ready for the future – you were actively shaping it. And as you pondered what the next year might bring, one thing was certain: with DATA, the only limit was your imagination. So, dear user, what amazing, AI-powered adventure will you embark on next?
