I ve been seeing a lot about Hello Aria lately, and it genuinely looks like something worth trying. The idea of having one AI assistant that can help with everyday tasks, generate ideas, and give quick answers without needing to switch between multiple apps sounds really convenient. I m especially interested in how smoothly it works across iOS, web, and WhatsApp, since that would make it easy to use anytime. If it actually delivers on being fast, intuitive, and helpful, I can see it becoming a go-to tool for staying productive and organized.

This feels like a nice shift toward reducing tool overload. Having reminders, notes, and calendar all in one conversational layer makes a lot of sense. How do you handle keeping everything organized as usage scales?
Hello Aria
@uxpinjack
Thanks 🙏 and yeah, "tool overload" is exactly the framing we keep coming back to — people don't need another app, they need fewer.
On scale: the short answer is Aria treats memory like a human assistant would, not like a database. Three layers working together:
→ Short-term context — what you're talking about right now (this week's meetings, today's to-dos)
→ Mid-term memory — recurring patterns Aria picks up (your Monday 9am standup, the grocery list you rebuild every Sunday, your kid's swim class)
→ Long-term knowledge — the stable stuff (your family's names, your work projects, recurring contacts)
Retrieval is semantic, not chronological — so when you say "remind me about that thing Sarah mentioned," Aria searches intent, not keywords.
The honest challenge at scale isn't storage, it's forgetting gracefully — knowing when an old reminder is no longer relevant vs when to surface it again. Still actively tuning that one.
Great question — what kind of usage were you imagining when you asked? Teams, personal, something else?

Congrats on the launch @sai_tharun_kakirala and Sophia! The multi-channel approach (WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram) is smart! You meet users where the habit already lives.
Curious which channel your users actually stick with long-term once the reminder routine kicks in?

Thanks so much 🙏 and yeah, that's honestly one of my favorite questions to get asked because the answer surprised us.
Intuition said WhatsApp wins — it's where people live, lowest friction, instant habit.
Reality: WhatsApp wins for acquisition, but iOS wins for retention.
What we see: users onboard through WhatsApp (because that's where the friction is zero), then graduate to the iOS app within 2-3 weeks for anything involving multiple reminders at once, voice-note meeting recordings, or reviewing their day. WhatsApp stays as the "quick capture" layer — the "remind me to call mom" moment while walking.
So it's less "which channel wins" and more "which job-to-be-done lives on which channel":
→ WhatsApp/Telegram = capture (fast, one-shot, voice or text)
→ iOS = review + meeting recording (richer UI, full context)
→ Email = reports, summaries, anything you want to archive
The biggest surprise: power users end up using ALL of them, daily, without thinking about it. Aria syncs the context across, so they don't feel like separate tools.
What's your context for the question — building something channel-first yourself?
It looks very cool Tharun!
Maybe add one more point to „who it is for“:
People traveling that have friends all over the world where they use different apps for texting in every country
Maybe more niche but that’s what I thought about
Hello Aria
@byluocca
Thank you so much — that’s actually a really thoughtful point.
You’re right, people who travel a lot or have friends and work contacts across different countries often end up juggling different messaging platforms depending on where they are. That cross-platform chaos is exactly the kind of friction we want HelloAria to reduce.
It may sound niche at first, but it’s a very real use case — especially for people managing personal and professional communication globally. Really appreciate you pointing that out.
@sai_tharun_kakirala
Ofc man, you’re welcome!
I wish you the greatest success
