Humans & (MaartenBosma and team) launched Boba, a "social intelligence" agent that understands your goals and your community, usable by text message or online chat. The launch drew attention from several AI-circle accounts, with the product powered by Ampersand. The pitch: a personal agent as a conversational entry point rather than yet another chat app.
