Dot, an AI companion app designed by an Apple alum, launches in the App Store

Dot is a new AI app that builds a personal relationship with users through conversations, remembering and learning from interactions to create a unique understanding of each individual. The app's features include a journal-like interface where conversations are organized into topics, hyperlinked to related memories and thoughts, and even summarized in a Wiki-like format. Dot also sends proactive "Gifts" - personalized messages, recipes, and article suggestions - and can be used for task management, research, and even as a 3 a.m. therapist. While the author praises Dot's empathetic tone, positivity, and ability to facilitate self-reflection, they also note its limitations, such as being "hypersensitive" to requests and prone to errors. Despite these flaws, the author finds Dot useful as a written memory and a tool for exploring thoughts and emotions, but wishes for a more casual and intimate conversation style that evolves over time.
