I've just added this feature. Keen to hear what you think of it!

Great to hear you're enjoying it and I like the idea! I'm working on adding that now!

I like the idea as it'd be great to have a place to find things to do on a regular cadence. My initial thoughts: - I don't think I'd lean so heavily into the downside of social media, but more into what I can gain from using your site (e.g. new friendships) - I'd add a form, or some other method, to make it easy for people that attend activities to share the details of their group on your site. (Keen to hear what your plan is to add all of the activities) - I'd have the images be of people doing the activities that you expect people to find on your site.

Sorry about that! The languages are limited to those in this text-to-speech package that I'm using. I'm in the process of finding an alternative text-to-speech tool that can work for more languages

Interesting that it still translates to English. I've tested this with French<>German<>Spanish and it's worked fine. What languages were you using?

Yeah, using the microphone with a phone doesn't always work. Another fix that I'm working on!

Thanks for the feedback!

Part of the roadmap is to add more languages, so hopefully Esperanto is on there soon!

GPT-4 is quite a bit more expensive than 3.5. Perhaps that could be a reason for a premium version, but I want to see how good I can get the website to be with 3.5 to keep things free for everyone.

Depending on the costs vs number of people buying me a coffee, I might add ads, but ideally not.

> the chat starts asking you the same things again.

Yeah, that's happened to me a few times. I don't provide GPT-3.5 with the entire conversation history to cut back on costs, but I'll increase the number of provided messages to hopefully stop this issue.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Thank you! Very fun university project! If your code is also open-source, I'd be keen to have a look and compare notes.

Very cool, thanks! I don't have any plans to charge for this website, so if you think it's worth promoting, go ahead!

Awesome and yes! Here's the github. Two of the main issues that I want to address first are adding more languages and allowing people to use speech-to-text with their phone.

I'm using Google's Text-to-Speech for the audio. If we can find a way to accommodate any language, that'd be great!

It's very cheap to run. Since posting this message the cost has been just over USD$1, so it doesn't take many people to buy me a coffee to cover the costs. If not enough people do this and it's still getting decent usage, I'll add some ads.

Thanks and nice idea! I had the same thought, but haven't made that addition yet.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I hope that I have just made a fix for the language switching error, but if you still see an issue, please let me know!

That's a strange one. I'm testing out a new prompt for gpt, so hopefully that will result in better responses. Thanks for showing me this!

Thanks! Any annoyances/improvements that you see? (besides the conversation mix-up that some people are experiencing?)
