Building an AI Coach to Help Tame My Monkey Mind

Building an AI Coach to Help Tame My Monkey Mind

I suffer from monkey mind, chronic imposter syndrome, and the hedonic treadmill. A few friends have confided that they have the same issue too. Perhaps you can relate as well. To improve my mental well-being, I meditate, write morning pages, and keep a gratitude journal. However, as helpful as these techniques are, they primarily rely on introspection. What was missing was an external perspective—someone who could ask follow-up questions, challenge my assumptions, and help untangle my thoughts and emotions. Enter ChatGPT. Over the past year, I’ve been using it as my therapist and coach. It’s been surprisingly helpful and meets…

Messaging your AI pricing model

Messaging your AI pricing model

This article is based on Ismail Madni’s brilliant talk at the Product Marketing Summit in Austin, hosted by our sister community, Product Marketing Alliance. More and more AI capabilities are being added to product roadmaps every single day. Even companies that aren’t using true AI are still incorporating increasingly advanced capabilities into their product. This gives us all a golden opportunity to rethink how we price our offerings and the story behind that pricing – and that’s what I’m excited to talk to you about today.A brief history of software pricing modelsLet's start by taking a quick look at the history…

Networking Systems for Video Anomaly Detection: A Tutorial and Survey

Networking Systems for Video Anomaly Detection: A Tutorial and Survey

arXiv:2405.10347v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing prevalence of surveillance cameras in smart cities, coupled with the surge of online video applications, has heightened concerns regarding public security and privacy protection, which propelled automated Video Anomaly Detection (VAD) into a fundamental research task within the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. With the advancements in deep learning and edge computing, VAD has made significant progress and advances synergized with emerging applications in smart cities and video internet, which has moved beyond the conventional research scope of algorithm engineering to deployable Networking Systems for VAD (NSVAD), a practical hotspot for intersection exploration in…

Microsoft Surface and Copilot Event: Everything announced including new Surface laptops, Copilot+ PC and more

Microsoft just couldn't wait until its Build developer conference properly starts tomorrow to drop some knowledge bombs. The company held a pre-Build event on Monday that wasn't livestreamed for the public, but it made some major announcements on the AI and Surface fronts.Its vision for so-called AI PCs is taking shape with Copilot+ PCs, which are designed to run many generative AI processes locally instead of in the cloud. Along with its own Surface systems that will adopt this format, several other manufacturers are making Copilot+ PCs too. Microsoft also detailed some of the upcoming AI features for Windows 11.Copilot+…

Large language models can’t effectively recognize users’ motivation, but can support behavior change for those ready to act

Large language models can’t effectively recognize users’ motivation, but can support behavior change for those ready to act

Large language model-based chatbots have the potential to promote healthy changes in behavior. But researchers from the ACTION Lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have found that the artificial intelligence tools don't effectively recognize certain motivational states of users and therefore don't provide them with appropriate information. Michelle Bak, a doctoral student in information sciences, and information sciences professor Jessie Chin reported their research in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association. Large language model-based chatbots -- also known as generative conversational agents -- have been used increasingly in healthcare for patient education, assessment and management. Bak and…
