“Part 2 is the actual responses - various but scripted - and it’s not the case that we expect this bot to pass the turing test and fool the world into thinking its person. “The idea is to avoid a situation where you don’t want to have a confrontational conversation, but don’t want to go dark on them,” Cohn said. And if they don’t go away, worst case scenario, they realize they’re talking to a bot, CEO Greg Cohn said. Whenever a contact that has Ghostbot enabled texts the user, it’ll create a canned non-committal response that will hopefully get the other person to go away based on the context of the text message. Users can have one or multiple Burner numbers, and they attach Ghostbot to one - which will populate a list of contacts that the user is texting with that Burner number. Whenever you hand out a temporary phone number that’s built through Burner - say, a number for a Craigslist encounter - you can automatically sic the bot on the conversation to automatically respond in such a way that it will try to wave off the person on the other side. If you’ve ever wanted a text message conversation to simply go away, but still wanted to do it gracefully, there’s a new bot that will help do that for you.īurner, which helps users create temporary phone numbers for various purposes, is today rolling out a new tool called Ghostbot.
