Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh
27 June 2013

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

RE: MINUTES of MEETING

Manoj,

 

I do not quite understand the technical nature of the additional “ scope “ which you mention – but I am sure that you are the best judge of the work involved

 

Hence I approve this

 

In any case, during our meeting, Kartavya made following points :

 

#   All billing will be based on “ actual “  T & M , incurred basis

 

#  There will be no bill for the first 50 man-hours of effort put in

 

 

Apart from the “ billing “, the most important considerations are :

 

 

#  Coming up with an un-paralled product – the kind of which , world has not seen till date

 

   (  Just for your information, some 19 years ago – in 2003 – Kartavya developed for me..www.RecruitGuru.com .. Till today, no other job-portal has managed to even MATCH that portal ! Someday, when you are a bit free, I will show you what he had managed to “ conjure up “. If you wonder : If it was so good, why did we de-host it ?  Short answer  : 3P did not have the money to market it  )

 

 

#  For a long time now ( 10 + years ), Chat Bots have been around on thousands of websites – dishing out “ canned answers “ against a narrow range of “ selectable questions “

 

   This means, there is a very high probability that visitors ( to My Digital Avatar ) may end up thinking : Here is another boring / irritating / frustrating / dumb , chatbot 

 

  It is , therefore of UTMOST IMPORTANCE that, we are able to WOW – DAZZLE , the visitor , in her first 5 SECONDS of visit ! Surely, you have heard of the “ Elevator Pitch “ !

 

If our visitor leaves our site in those first 5 seconds, there is no chance of her coming back for a second visit !

 

 

#  We must launch it ( after very thorough TESTING , giving perfectly relevant answers ), before 25th Jan – preferably earlier

 

    I am a 89 year old person who is running out of time !

 

 

#   If this comes out as hoped for by me, then I have no doubt that it will go VIRAL and prove to be THE BEST “ marketing tool “ , for Atidan and for PERSONAL.AI

 

    You must have noticed that Suman and his colleagues, are  sparing no efforts to help us make this U / I, a WEB 3.0  BENCHMARK  

 

 

Regards,

 

hemen

Subject: MINUTES of MEETING

 

Manoj,

 

At the outset, I wish a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to ATIDAN team and PERSONAL.AI team

 

 

 

It was a pleasure welcoming you and Kartavya to my home on 21 Dec 2022 , for discussing and finalizing the features of My Digital Avatar U / I

 

The discussions centered around my hand-drawn template of U / I ,dated 17 Dec 22 , sent to you earlier ( see attachment )

 

We reached following “ tentative “ decisions :

 

Ø   VISITOR side ( Left Column )

 

#  No photo of a visitor.

 

This block ( space ) to be used to list the names of the cities from which , each visitor is arriving ( IP location tracking ). The block may , at any given time, hold 10 city-names. As soon as a new visitor arrives, her city-name will appear on TOP of the list and the bottom-most will disappear. Against each city-name, the TIME of ARRIVAL will be shown.

This feature is for “ Marketing “ the website. Obviously, rapidly arriving new visitors, is bound to impress all who are ONLINE – and certainly the latest arriving person , when she sees her city-name popping up in that block. Number of City-Names at 10, as well as the placement of that block in the U/I , are only tentative and the U / I designer is free to come up with other ideas

 

 

#  Hints

 

Based on my past experience and some feedback from Suman, it was decided ( not during the meeting but ¾ days ago ), that we will drop :

 

“ Start question with, WHAT –WHY – WHERE – WHEN -  HOW – WHY “

 

We will also replace “ Listing A , B , C ..etc “ and clicking on these alphabets by a Search Bar, in which , a visitor can start to type any Search Term ( Topics / Keywords )

As soon as she types the very first Alphabet, all the Keywords starting with that alphabet will appear in a Drop-list. As she continues typing the following characters, the list will shrink

 

Ø  AVATAR ( Middle Column )

 

#  Introductory Questions ( could be called FAQ ? )

 

These will be telescoped . clicking on any will open up right below it, the relevant answer.   This will save space ( real estate )

 

#  Answer Rating block

 

We will keep this and collect the results although Pesonal.ai will be ready to receive these results ( through an API ), only after 4 / 6 weeks – when we will hook up

 

#  BOX for “ Questions Asked By Others ( Click Any ) “

 

This is a very important feature and we should attempt to accommodate into that box, as many questions as possible ( how many seconds should top question stay on ? )

 

Reason :

 

    #  It will be a great help to those visitors who are at a loss as to “ what question to ask ? how to frame a question correctly ? “ . All she has to do is to pick what question appeals to her and click to transfer it to the QUESTION BOX. The moment she does , relevant answer will crop up in the ANSWER BOX and MY VOICE will be heard from the screen !

 

This will put the visitor at ease ( not feel daunted  ) . And if the answer that she reads / hears, is relevant , she may get tempted to click on another and another and another ! Out of curiosity, It could become a GAME !

 

For this reason, before public launch, at the time of testing , we will fill up this box with some questions which return  MOST RELEVANT answers ! Seeding

 

Ø  MY AVATAR ( Right side Column )

 

     #  Share links   

 

To be retained / expanded . Can we provide some EASY method by which a Visitor can E-MAIL a Screen-shot of the entire page to anyone ? This would help go AVATAR go VIRAL and motivate thousands to want to develop their OWN AVATARS . No one will click open a mailed “ hyperlink “ !

 

   #  Metrics

 

       We will develop these / capture and store captured data , but HIDE these block – until the figures start looking respectable . Scant / low counters may put-off the visitors

 

#  ANSWER BOX

 

     Ideally > as each word ( text ) appears in the box, MY CLONED VOICE will speak it . Initially, there may not be LIP-SYNCING ( but to be attempted )

 

    Less than Ideal  >  One line of text appears , gets read out , then the next line appears

 

#  My Photo

 

   This MUST be animated , using any number of DEEP FAKE ai apps available

 

  As far as the starting photo is concerned, you have following options :

 

( a )  Attachment ( My Photo )

 

( b )  Copy from my VIDEO POEM RECITALS ( Selfies taken and uploaded at   https://hcpspoems.blogspot.com/2016/06/blog-post.html )

 

I leave it to you to decide which lends itself better for animation / lip-syncing

 

Regards,

 

Hemen
