CEO & Co-Founder - Simular AI | Building AGI for personal devices, to improve the quality of your work & life.
Simular was born three months ago. It has been an incredible journey, and I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to all Simular friends for joining us on this remarkable journey. As we are at the conclusion of 2023, I would like to give a recap about our achievements and outline our objectives for the upcoming year, 2024. In September, Jiachen Yang and I established our company and joined South Park Commons, an amazing community for founders. At the first week, we launched a MacOS chatbot prototype that could utilize any selected text as context. Many friends who knew us expressed their confusion as to why we just built a wrapper of GPT. We literally told them “just be patient”. In October, we launched our first API-based tool that integrated with Google Calendar. And by November, we had achieved our first pixel-level computer control, allowing us to physically manipulate the mouse and perform tasks. By then, Simular basically acquired a wide spectrum of abilities in the digital world. We had the opportunity to showcase our agent's capabilities at SPC's demo faire and were excited to receive a lot of positive feedback. https://lnkd.in/gwbBdUGn It’s been a tremendous journey for both of us. It’s like every morning when we wake up, we feel more excited about what’s next about the agent. We call the past three months the inception phase of our company, as we built out the basic capabilities of the agent. Simular's abilities have been steadily increasing. However, we are not content with the current speed. This leads to our next phase, scaling. Scaling will be the primary theme for the year 2024. Our objective is to significantly expand the range of supported actions in an exponential manner. As many of you may know, this is a very challenging problem, and we invite you to stay tuned on our progress. I still vividly remember the first thing Aditya Agarwal taught us in SPC is the dilemma faced by founders, which is finding the balance between focusing on the long term vision and attending to the details of the current product. We’ve been executing our plans consistently under this philosophy. If you have been following us from day 1, you probably already notice how much of a difference we have made so far. By saying that, I also want to share a preview for our upcoming launch in the next few days: 1. Introducing a fully private local mode which piggyback on the awesome community of llama.cpp and open source LLM models. 2. Improved handling of context selection, you can select any application, any window, any text or any image you want to start your task with. 3. More and better cross-app action controls, like creating google/zoom meetings and sending messages in different messaging apps, reading an image and setting calendar events, etc. And of course, a better streamlined user interface for a better user experience. Please apply to our beta program at simular.ai Wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year!
Super impressive progress in 3 months. Congratulations Ang!
What a clever mix - using NLP for understanding context and then applying that to interact directly with interfaces. This isn't just automating tasks; it's about making AI interact with digital spaces in a much smarter, real-time way. I can’t wait to see how this will be applied at ToB and ToC End. Congratulations!
