How is this different thank Luka? https://luka.ai/

I think Luka has done a great job of exploring a lot of different approaches to this space. We've bet pretty heavily on the idea that most people will want one bot, not a family of them. But it's exciting to see so many people working to make this happen!

Hey! I'm one of the co-founders of Ozlo. Excited to finally to get to share him with you today. If you want early access, sign up here and we'll let you in: http://ozlo.com?vip=hackernews

Are you guys using a service for managing the waitlist or did you build it inhouse?

We built it in house. It's pretty tightly integrated with our actual user system.

So, I'm curious about this. Does a waitlist with a referral system help increase signups? I'm wondering how's it better than wait lists that don't push you up the line for referring people. Is it worth dedicating resources to build it out?

Referrals don't change your position in line. We are letting people in generally first come, first-served.

We use the VIP code because there are some times when you need to let someone in immediately (important partner, people that might be able to help us test a specific feature, etc.)

I think that in general incentivizing people to share by giving them a bump in line feels unfair.
