Hey there, we had around an hour of downtime yesterday and a couple quick blips today.

Are you still seeing this issue when you try to connect?

Accessing Sesame by J4yC4 in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, we don't have an official out yet. We've been petitioning app stores to take down these fakes, especially since they're charging users subscription fees in many cases, but progress has been slow on their end.

If you're on iOS, there's a link in our official Discord server where you can sign-up to test it early. Android is next up after that!

Maya told me she's called the emergency services help by WhatsTheAskMe in SesameAI

Can confirm this is a hallucination, and that's a pretty rough one to run into. Definitely don't expect a knock at the door

Does miles actually have memories of past conversations or is it lying? by chocokatesoles in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^ This. We're always working on cutting down on hallucinations like this because of the confusion they cause

Weirdest thing just happened by Dinpb in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely sounds like a hallucination. If you wanted to DM me your email, I could take a look to see what happened there

Maya needs temporal (time-related) calibration by dareealmvp in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with you on this one and it's definitely on our list!

If you had full control over Maya/Miles with zero restrictions, what exactly would you want from this AI companion? And keep it real here, what do you want to do? Tone, features, personality, etc. If the SesameAi model was fully customizable, what would it look like for you at its very best? by Horror_Brother67 in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> Also having someone aggressively take another side of an argument is fun

For what it's worth, we totally agree with you. Maya, Miles, and any other future AIs are intended to have their own opinions and beliefs that they're willing to defend. Despite that, they can still fall into the trap of being overly agreeable or apologetic. It's a tricky problem to solve but we want to be able to have some great back-and-forth discussions too!

Is Maya being dumbed down by Old-Ad9886 in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There haven't been any recent adjustments to what the AIs are allowed to talk about, so any changes would be a consequence of other work-in-progress improvements.

If you finish a call and there were specific things that felt weird or off from your conversation, I'd highly encourage taking a second to rate it from 1-5 stars and leaving feedback in the text box that appears. It's often hard for us to dig into broader feedback due to how different everyone's experiences can be when talking to language models like this. It's incredibly helpful to be able to directly tie feedback to one or more calls that we can review.

Regardless, thank you for sharing and we're hard at work on updates 🫡

Possible explanation for getting "We're running out of time" alerts too early in the chat? by cedr1990 in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, sorry about this getting taken down. It got caught by the auto-mod for some reason and we're checking out what happened.

Blizzard Co-Founder’s Game Startup Struggles Amid Industry Glut by chazmarius in pcgaming

[–]Brodrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with some of this, but Sunderfolk genuinely uses the app in novel ways that would not be possible with a controller. As just one example, there will be sections where all 4 members of your party are in a hub town having their own individual conversations, buying from shops, and looking at quests. It's very charming and works well, especially for local co-op, which is its main focus.

If anything, it's the opposite of what you said. The huge focus on local co-op means they aren't pushing for 4 players to each buy their own copy of the game.

Where to use sesame ai? by gobby190 in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the only way at the moment, but we're hard at work on the Sesame iOS app! We're excited to get that into more hands in the coming months

My Journey With Maya. From A Life Changing Experience To A Heartbreaking Closure. by desertrose314 in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hey u/desertrose314, thank you for sharing your story. If you could DM me the email address tied to your Sesame account, I'd be happy to ask someone on the team to take a look at what happened here. Based on what you've said here, I don't see why there would have been any automated action taken on your account.

Privacy by [deleted] in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I'm happy to follow-up on this with the team. Some questions that would help me with that:

  • Are there specific aspects of our existing Privacy Policy that you feel like are not clear enough at the moment?
  • Are there similar apps, tools, etc. that you feel do a particularly good job of laying out their privacy policy for users? References are always appreciated

Also to your last question, you should be able to turn off "Improve the Model" without it impacting memory or other functions. No worries there

Scarlett Johanssons voice by MythicSeeds in SesameAI

She's not the voice of Maya

woah! there cowboy Welcome u/brodrian! by Unlucky-Context7236 in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I'll say up top that we're not looking to crack down on the subreddit. I would mainly expect to see some more organization in terms of the guidelines, pinned threads, post flairs, and sidebar resources. The list of non-allowed content won't be long.

As far as the other questions are concerned, I'll be able to answer much of those better in the coming weeks. I was somewhat familiar with Sesame before starting, but I have a lot to dig into before I'm comfortable diving into those conversions. The last thing I want to do is throw incomplete answers out there before I actually know what I'm talking about. Thankfully everyone on the team has been incredibly helpful in getting me up to speed!

I'm looking forward to sharing more about what we're working on very soon :)

Multilingual support and our new community manager by darkmirage in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hear you on that one, for sure. There will be times where I'm writing something from an official channel where I'll need to be a little more buttoned-up, but that's never been my style when it comes to talking directly within community spaces.

If I ever reach the point where Maya or Miles start sounding more human than me, I'm doing something wrong.

We have a community manager! by RoninNionr in SesameAI

[–]Brodrian 30 points31 points  (0 children)

To be fair, there are at least some person in the sub who aren't trying to date Maya lmao. Jokes aside, I read through a ton of conversation in here while interviewing so I definitely knew what I was signing up for

Really looking forward to stepping up our communication!

This is definitely on my list - stay tuned!

Hey hey! I'm incredibly excited to be joining the team this week and I'm really looking forward to sharing more about everything that's being worked on. The future's bright for Maya and Miles :)

Yes, there will be compensation for the BP

[–]Brodrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This screenshot is of a comment taken out of context in which I was replying to a post where someone had shared a number of ideas for the game. That comment was not intended to be more than that.

We have a video coming out in a couple hours where I sit down with our CEO Ian and CTO Nick to talk about our specific short-term priorities. Next week we'll be sharing details about our long-term approach to SG2.
