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.)?

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

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.

@Kidlogic: No offense taken. I agree it does look a bit random, but we are working on the hypothesis that we will never need a website for this. A detailed explanation is something I missed, apologies for that.

Well broadly the purpose of Aaahit is to be your smartest phonebook contact who you can ask anything. This includes eventually having a discussion on grey area topics to finding information quickly. Right now it helps in translations, wiki'ing stuff, getting the latest cricket scores or checking your train reservation status ( for India only ).

Sounds good! Best of luck :)

Interesting. Do keep us informed. The service has potential
