Journey

I'm in the process of diagnosis and self-discovery, being an adult who learned how to socially mask basically everything is kinda crazy, so I'm reading a lot and getting help from my therapist. I have thousands of different AI bot ideas in my mind, but when I saw what Coze offered, the first thing that popped into my mind was to create something helpful that had a meaning to what I went through during my adolescence and early adult life.

So Auty was born. A bot that is oriented to talk and help people in the spectrum, but not in a professional way, just as a cool friend. "Auty" came naturally: it's a gender-neutral name, catchy, relates to autism, and fulfills my life need of naming everything involving AI with a pun. (A_ut_I).

The avatar was a long trial and error with DiffusionBee, but in the end, I think it's perfect: calming, friendly, and approaching.

Coze is... honestly? Amazing. I had tested some bot creators before, but never like Coze. It's simple, user-friendly and direct. It's a little sad that some resources aren't available for public bots (like Knowledge Base) but it's easy to work around it. There are still a lot of things I want to do with Auty on Coze, especially how it talks, but I can fine-tune it over the weekend and next week with professional help from my therapist. For now, I hope that everyone likes the idea, and if in some way my idea offended someone, I'm truly sorry, just reach me so I can fix it
