For a moment I thought the original Audrey assistant was reborn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3Com_Audrey

We had been told that a several time and we immediately check if we infringed anything. Turns out, we are clear :) Good ol times.

This looks interesting, but I really need to see their Privacy Policy first.

Exactly my thoughts.

When I saw that it was missing from the website I considered for a second that companies are just foregoing the Privacy Policy with the assumption that everyone just knows they soak up everything about you and keep it forever.

I love the design for this. Excellent! As a side note, I'm curious to how/why you named it Audrey. I think it's very interesting that these 'personal assistants' have traditionally feminine names. P.S. At the bottom, "Here's are some" is not grammatically correct.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hi, I also noticed it says, "Set your routines with Audrey, such as like getting a Uber every morning." I think, "Set your routines with Audrey, like getting an Uber every morning." is a little clearer! App looks very cool though!

Thanks! We've updated it!

The landing page copy is still really bad - "Whenever Audrey do not understand your request, you can teach it so that it can understand you the next time."

How am I supposed to trust that you are capable of building an AI when you can't get basic grammar correct? Don't build a marketing page when you're bad at marketing :)

Edit:

Just to clarify - I mean that the poor grammar is likely due to that fact that English probably isn't your first language and has no relationship to your abilities writing software. But, for consumer facing products such as yours, it's probably important that you get these small things right.
