I do not like the name "CommuniqAI". Think about how a person would recommend this app to a friend. A: "Hey, check this out, it's an app called 'CommuniqAI', it's great". B: "How do I spell that?" A: "C-o-m-m-u-n-i-q..." B: "Sorry, I lost you, start over" A: "It starts the same as Communism, but ism it ends in q-A-I" B: "grrr, fuck it. I am going to install Signal or Telegram" Don't make it harder for people to recom…

The name is fine; "Communiqué, but with an AI instead of an é"

You belong to a tiny percentage of the population able to make that association.

I can't decided if automated "love you" messages is dystopian af or cute

Intent is the distinguishing factor, IMHO. If I'm using this because I really do wish to reach out more, I see no harm. It's like riding a bike to get somewhere, it helps you get where you want to be, just a little faster. If apps start to doing this on their own, because AI, then we've got a problem...

This doesn't help you maintain connections with people, it's emotional forgery and anyone caught using something like this will find their "connections" evaporate instantly. If you want to maintain connections with people put the effort in, that's the substance of the connection in the first place. If you don't, then don't. People want to feel like they matter to you, so you contacting them shows that you care about…

By caught do you mean somebody sifting through your unlocked phone?

If one of the edge cases the author mentions pops up they could deduce from the context of the message that you didn't personally send it at that moment. Short of lying about it and claiming it must have been slow to arrive, I'd say you were caught.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It may not be because they are being a sociopath but it also isn't just because of being an introvert. What you are describing is social anxiety which some introverts have and others do not.

Nobody said all introverts ("can be hard"). I think you'd classify anyone with social anxiety as an introvert. Therefore this is a problem that introverts have.

Words have meanings, and that's not what introvert means.

I'm not able to access (play tells me it does not found)? Is country limited app or something?

Yes. I'm sorry. The app is currently in beta and limited to 88 countries/regions to better support this. Please let me know what country you are in so that I may rectify this.

I'm an introvert from Turkey.

> Introvert: a shy, reticent person.

What person with social anxiety does that not apply to?

No idea why the two of you are quibbling over the use of the word introvert here.

The moment someone realizes you are using this, you may be seen as someone fake. Never let it happen.

I never remember people's birthdays, so I have added them to my calendar, and I make sure to message people to wish them a happy birthday when I get the calendar notification. Does this make my happy birthday wishes fake? Should I never let anyone realize I use a calendar?

You may care about someone but forget their birthday exact date one day ahead.

But you care someone and forget to send a message any day during the month? That’s not possible, that means you don’t really care.
