Stop ghosting your friends with Nox’s RPLY, plus Alloy Automation and a Shopify flashback | E2209

I have more than 800 unread, iMessages on my photo. 800 is maybe even the lower end of some of the inboxes that that we've had to deal with. We worked with two services today, iMessage and WhatsApp. I'm curious about the the the privacy element of What you want to do is, you know, not send your messages or at least have them anonymized and, you know, never personally identifiable, if they're ever going to be sent to a cloud server. When I saw you guys built this, my first thought was, hell yes. And my second thought was, will my friends yell at me for using it? AI reply generations sound like you. I feel like we're, like, a a year or two away, though, from having enough RAM in every single new Mac computer that we're going to be able to run local models without it being a question.

And then at the end, we're going to rewind that clock all the way to 2013 when Jason sat down with the then much younger and much smaller company CEO, Toby Lutke. Of course, Shopify has grown tremendously since then, but it's really good fun to go back and look at where the company was and what we were asking Shopify back in its relative infancy. Alright. So Knox up first, great company. They're building kinda like superhuman, but not email instead for iMessage. It helps folks like myself who are chronically and constantly behind on text messages stay up to date, and the company has a big vision for a future AI driven invisible OS. You're gonna want to know what that is. Then we're gonna talk to Alloy Automation, a …
