Hi HN, sorry for yet another AI related post =D like many of you I've been playing around with GPT recently. I set out to see if I could get a model to interpret requests and take action in an extensible manner.

At some point along this journey I discovered LangChain, which has lots of similarities. But I think one potentially novel thing for this crowd is that Bashi works by asking the model to interact with effectively a REPL, where function calls can have real side effects. On the other side there is an interpreter for a subset of javascript.

It also comes with an OSX app, so if you're on mac you can test out and hack on the proof of concept right away :)

Hope that this can spawn some interesting use cases and prove useful for some of you!

Thanks guys, this reply thread has some really good feedback. The tagline actually used to be 'a condom for your sex tapes' (hence the big camera illustration,) but it got swapped out over time as it seemed a bit of a 'strong' word.

Going to deeply consider the angle moving forward :)

You are correct!

Hey no problem:

1. Uses Realm for storage, encrypted with their encryption api using a random key generated on first boot stored in iOS keychain.

2 & 3. It has some rudimentary jailbreak detection but obfuscation is still in the pipeline.

(Getting late here in Tokyo so may be until tomorrow before I answer follow up questions)

Yup, you can set an in-app passcode that locks the UI (you're asked to set one different from the phones passcode)

Thanks! It's already on the App Store (since today,) I've been working on this for about 2 years now.
