Ethiopian Coffee, Bun, and Building a Life Companion on Prism

TJ and Chris reflect on their Thanksgiving experiences and the end of the year. They discuss their coffee preferences and recent AI developments, particularly focusing on OpenAI and Anthropic. The conversation then shifts to TJ's exciting project, a life companion built using AI, which aims to assist with daily tasks and emotional support. They explore the technology behind the project, including memory management and conversation summarization, and conclude with thoughts on future developments and the potential for commercialization.
