Chatbots have been all over the market. Every company wanted one but consumers didn’t use them. Now that the bubble has popped, let’s take a look at a new chatbot that might actually be “useable”: he is called “Nat”.

First message you’ll receive from Nat

Who is Nat?

Nat is a new generation personal relationship manager. It’s main goal is to help you keep in touch with the people you meet. It’s not a very smart AI but Nat is great at doing his job: reminding you to keep in touch with people.

How does it work?

It’s actually quite simple. Every few days, Nat will ask you if you have met someone new and if you would like to share this person’s details with him. Then, in a very easy-going manner, the chatbot will ask you some basic questions about the person you met (name, description and

contact details).

You can then let Nat know how often you would like him to remind you about this person (every week or every 3 weeks) and that’s it!

Nat will save the information and ping you once the time has come.

What I liked

What I liked about Nat was the “human” and personal touch. Every few days, I would get a new message with a little story or a good reason to share a new contact with Nat. Also, Nat is very quiet. He doesn’t spam you with tons of messages. Usually, I get one message every 2 or 3 days which is very nice and really makes me want to read the messages I get.

What I didn’t like

There is no way to sync all my contacts at once, I had to manually input every person I wanted to keep in touch with. It’s not ideal but it also made me think and who I really wanted to keep in touch with.

Finally, after using Nat for a month, I can say that it really had a positive impact on my life. When I started to use it, I thought: “let’s just give it a try but I’m sure I don’t need it”. Nat definitely proved me wrong! I would not have followed up with nearly every single person Nat reminded me about which is insane! I’m really annoyed that I have not used this earlier
