We built MyGuy to tackle a problem we all face: not enough hours in the day.

MyGuy makes calls and handles tasks for you 24/7. Some things we can do:

Book dinner reservations or doctor's appointments

Cancel your broadband service (we'll wait on hold)

Make calls in foreign languages while you're traveling

Plan your trips, from flights to activities

How it works:

Tell MyGuy what you need

Our AI handles it

You get a notification when it's done

We're offering 3 free tasks to new sign-ups. After that, it's $1 per task.

Do you have any examples of how it performs? Video perhaps?

Hey, right now I am myself the AI in the backend after the initial questionnaire is finished. I wanted to validate the product / need before building out more complexity.

Cool I'll give it a shot.

I actually don't mind booking flights, but I truly loathe expense reporting. If you can do that task then you have a customer for life my friend.

Give it a shot! If you sign up there will be three free credits. Even if this fails I will get an idea of what people try to use agents for.

So there is no product. This is a scam.

That is one interpretation for sure but this was the cheapest way for me(a solo dev) to validate if the problem statement is real or not.

I am more than happy refunding $1 to someone who pays and isn't happy with the results. Otherwise people get 3 free credits.

So you should be clear about what you are doing. There is a difference between (a) validating a problem statement before you build a product and (b) selling a product that doesn't exist.

My initial reaction was that there’s no way the current generation can do everything your “AI assistant” can do. Looks like my impression was correct.

Your real competition is virtual personal assistants. The advantage of hiring them over you is that I can have a long-term relationship with them. Sorry to be pessimistic, but I don’t think you have anything here.
