Beta Testing Non-Linear AI Chats

Two weeks ago we did a beta test and the number one challenge was (too) long running deep chats and difficulty in navigating back and forth in a chat.

This week we are previewing non-linear AI chats which, from what we can tell, are a new thing. Traditional chats start, and keep going back and forth between the AI and person until they end. Previously we had woven several topics into this single thread. But this made skipping a topic, and going back to it later virtually impossible.

A non-linear chat has a navigation list at the top of the screen, and makes jumping between topics very easy. The navigation list also shows which topics you have completed, and provides a simple "show matches" button which can be used at any time to see people you match.

To see all this in action, you can visit the Fastest Demo matchmaker which also demonstrates incremental conversations. Incremental conversations are another feature requested by event organizers and which allows just a few easy questions during the first Deep Chat, and then subsequent Deep Chats with more questions.

If you'd like to try non-linear Deep Chats in a production matchmaker, please try out the SF Bay Area Founder and Support Network.

We are eager to see how non-linear Deep Chats work with non-technical people, so please let us know how it goes!
