Half of you voted for the realistic female photo. Seriously?!!! Not even “a lady from the future”? You subliminally want to chat with a human?!! You love innovations, especially when it is not different from your usual experience, right? :)

Surprise, surprise!

Well. You folks push us to:
* Invest in the creation of a hyper-realistic 3D model of this avatar, enabling rendering from any angle for Placy branding later (expensive, compared to a 2D picture)
* This lady might be a talking head/virtual influencer on Placy’s SMM (high-cost video content)
* Securing intellectual property rights for this 3D model (more expenses)

Startup in danger ⚠️ unexpected non-core investments!

…It was so easy to choose a simple black-n-white pic, but you don't want us to have a quiet life, yeah :)

Placy’s character

Imagine choosing between Marilyn Monroe's charm and Margaret Thatcher's resolve. Didn't know how to approach this until we met AiQ team yesterday. A startup that trains AI agents on their emotional intelligence. Can be useful for user engagement in video games, AI NPCs for example

It is now clear:

First chat. Placy profiles you (sell or buy, house or flat, budget etc) and she detects your psyche type (rational, introvert, impulsive etc)

Then Placy adapts, choosing the persona 🎭 that best resonates with your psyche for deeper engagement and retention

Insight 1💡Psyche is an integral part of the user’s profile
Insight 2💡Placy’s character exists, and is empathetic and ADAPTABLE

Done

Humans in AI evolution? Redundant 🤯 Self-teaching method is tested

In all cases where AI reached superhuman abilities, human experience became obsolete. AlphaZero (DeepMind): mastered chess playing against itself, millions of games, superhuman level in hours!

Current LLM training uses human responses to create reward models. But why need humans if the goal is to uplift LLM linguistic abilities to superhuman levels? 🤔

Solution? Self-sustaining LLMs creating their own reward models which itself “are used via LLM-as-a-Judge prompting to provide its own rewards during training”. Tested on Llama 2 70B, this method outperformed most systems, including Claude 2, Gemini Pro, GPT-4 (report)

What's cool? This brings the speculations around "people are not needed for LLM self-improvement" into practical reality [for the first time, I think]

So, one day Placy will invite Placy Pro to a psychology course, and she, in turn, will invite her sister to sales training 😀

Social media strategy decision time 🤟

In the startup world, focus is key. With 10+ global social networks available, it's impossible to maintain a strong presence on all of them at the MVP phase

Well, LinkedIn is a must for B2B strategy. It's vital for recruitment, a hotspot for investors, done: Placy.ai Page — follow, by the way :)

Next step: selecting our primary B2C platform, a testing ground for user engagement and acquisition in April 🤔 Mix your gut feeling with stats, and vote below

Y Combinator's fresh Insights

“What kind of ideas are founders having the best luck with? Which ones are they pivoting away from?”

Most promising areas for tech startups in 2024 🌟

Placy and Placy Pro ride the waves of “Explainable AI” (valuation/legal/migration advice) and “LLMs for manual back office processes in legacy enterprises” (automation of routine/repetitive tasks)

Y Combinator’s categorisation is not obvious. Interesting food for thought 📚✨
