Questions and Answers
What is FlyingFrog about?
I've both read about and experienced the ongoing epidemic of loneliness and social disconnect, and FlyingFrog is my attempt to do something about that with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
Although AI has developed a somewhat shaky reputation and is quite wasteful, I also believe that it can be used in positive ways.
Life is hectic, difficult, and lonely for a lot of people. Many of us don't get very many inspiring, encouraging, romantic, or even titilating messages because everyone around us is fighting the same battle.
We all need an occasional reminder that we're doing alright and that everything is going to be OK. That's what FlyingFrog provides.
FlyingFrog is a one-man show, and I'm in this to make your life a little bit better every day.
How does it work?
FlyingFrog generates and sends you a personalized email of your chosen type at a random time of day, four times a week.
I chose a random delivery in the hope of offering you a nice little unexpected surprise at a time when you might need a boost. And, I chose four messages per week to avoid diluting the special feel that comes from receiving an encouraging, hopefully inspiring message.
I guess the bottom line is that I'm trying to make the whole thing feel as friendly, organic, and natural as possible.
So, that's pretty much the whole plan.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes. Visit your portal page to cancel your subscription whenever you like.
Can I change the kind of messages that I receive?
Yes. Visit your portal page to modify various subscription parameters, including the message type that you receive.
Can I request a custom message?
At this point, no.
But, if I get a few requests for a certain type of message, I'm open to adding more categories.
Do you offer messages in non-English languages?
Currently, no.
FlyingFrog hasn't been around long enough to get a clear picture of the regions and languages that users might want. So, any non-English language availability would be a pure guess at this point.
FlyingFrog is an independent operation and our AI bot is run locally.
I don't have the computing horsepower to generate messages in a bunch of different languages without knowing that it's needed.
So, if you want messages in a non-English language, let me know and it might happen at some point if I get enough requests.
