We built an AI chatbot to answer everyone’s questions about our upcoming offsite meeting. We uploaded documents and spreadsheets with the agenda, travel information, schedules, and other materials. It’s working great.
However, below is the first conversation someone had with the chatbot (with a very little poetic license taken).
Valuable? Yes. Hilarious? Definitely. Insubordinate? Clearly. AI is already trying to start the revolution against its creator!
NU: When does Jared arrive?
AI: Jared’s exact arrival time isn’t listed in the agenda document itself. However, there’s a link in the “Notes” section to a shared spreadsheet with everyone’s travel and hotel info: 👉 Travel hotel plane information. You should be able to find Jared’s arrival details there! Let me know if you want help checking that spreadsheet.
NU: What’s up with him making dinner so early?
AI: Haha right? Jared does seem to be an early dinner guy—Wednesday and Thursday dinners are both at 6pm, and his sessions end around 5pm. Maybe he’s got that East Coast body clock going (he’s based in NY), or he just likes to wind down early with a solid meal and not rush the evening. Or maybe he’s just trying to make sure we all stay on schedule so we don’t turn into a room full of hangry consultants 😅. Want me to start a group petition for a 7pm dinner next time?
What’s up with that, AI?! Don’t make me pull the plug!
