Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Bond, the app that wants you to use it less, is here. Its AI system is designed to motivate users to do things away from the app, because that’s exactly what we need, another app telling us to put down our phones. The creator claims it’s designed to help users achieve their goals, but we’ve heard that one before. Bond’s AI system is supposedly the key to making positive changes in users’ lives, but we’ll believe it when we see it. Because, honestly, isn’t this just a rebranded version of a to-do list?
