Field notes
The page models the assistant through miniature message scenarios rather than abstract feature bullets. It demonstrates thread-specific memory, including hiking preferences, cilantro aversion, a dog named Biscuit, and a claimed height, alongside safeguards for names and duplicate bookings. The comparison table separates a free tier from Pro at $9.99 per month, while the Monogamy row presents a deliberately comic alternative. The product remains waitlist-only on the supplied page.
