Brad Lind, co-founder of Quadpay (America's first pay-in-4, acquired by Zip, now processing $10bn+ a year), launched Dana (@heydanaai), a personal AI assistant reachable via WhatsApp, iMessage, text or call in any language.
Real tasks it completed this week: phoned to cancel his gym membership, booked adjoining Tokyo hotel rooms in Japanese, paid an electricity bill from a photo, bought a stranger's jacket from a subway photo, and wrote and recorded a birthday song for his daughter.
Nothing sends, books, or spends without user approval; payments via Stripe. Currently invite-only early access.
