So we would, you know, I don't think this isn't giving advice or giving a diagnosis.

It's very much...

and should be about helping people develop their own resources.

It's like I use the analogy of those mechanical machines that shoot tennis balls at people so they can practice their swing to get better at the game with the human.

You know, these ...

are fundamentally tools.

I believe that, and I think they should be built like that and make sure that that is the objective function, if you like, is human betterment.

Oh, right.

Well, yeah, exactly.

That would be part of, you know, WoBot's kind of value set.

you know, we constantly would talk somebody through, hey, you know, what is the point of avoidance?

And if it is discomfort with other people, then Wobot will sort of encourage that person to follow through with speaking to another human.

And then we'll come back a few days later and say, hey, you said you were going to talk to Lucy.

Have you done it?

And we find actually in our data that

aside from the daily sort of check-ins which facilitate sort of emotional self-awareness, that accountability is the thing that people find their most favored feature of this technology.

So they want that kind of accountability.

Yeah, absolutely, loads.

Like, give advice, diagnose, give away data, sell data, especially to advertisers.

Flirt, right?
