Can anyone explain what is the difference between *Instinct AI* and @openclaw @orchid_hq @hermes @bot And so many other personal assistants that claim to “Actually” get the work done? I don’t get the hype… 🙄

why there’s no @orchid_hq on the list?!

30 minutes after onboarding to @onkeiki , @arcstudio booked a qualified call with a YC company. Before that, the team spent 3–4 hours every week manually searching X for teams who needed design help. High-intent posts go stale fast. Here’s how their Slack agent finds them

Before Keiki, one lead started a manual chain: - search X across different keywords - scan founder posts and the team’s network - research the company - decide whether it was a fit - write a personalized message

#Orchid: The July launch of this AI personal assistant showed a couple managing their anniversary day-in-the life via chatbot. It got viral backlash from the idea of replacing human intimacy. Maybe it shows the difficulty AI companies face in avoiding cringe even if they try.

Mo runs five Shell gas stations. Every day, one pricing email has to become five station updates. Before Orchid, that meant reading the email, deciding what each station should charge, and contacting every team. Now it happens the same day. Here’s how:

Introducing Keiki by Orchid, the fastest way to launch customer-facing AI agents for the channels people already use.

A startup called Orchid ran an ad for its AI assistant. A man forgets his anniversary, so his girlfriend texts the app, and it books the dinner and sends her flowers. Orchid made this to sell the product. What it filmed is a woman thanking a subscription for loving her.
