About Twitter
Minion AI is an AI agent designed to perform everyday online tasks such as booking appointments, paying bills, and completing purchases. Currently in public beta, Minion is available as an iOS app and a web browser experience at play.minion.ai. It can navigate unfamiliar websites, use services like Search and Yelp, and handle checkout processes including Apple Pay. Minion learns through a self-play system that tests against many variations of common tasks, improving reliability over time. For security, Minion asks users to take over whenever passwords or credit card information is required. The agent is free to use during the beta period and provides concise answers with improved hallucination detection.
