Airchat cofounder Naval Ravikant had to temporarily close off new sign-ups to the app after it was overloaded with users following the release of a new version. Ravikant had given a small number of users unlimited invites, resulting in an influx of new users.
At some point this weekend, Airchat cofounder Naval Ravikant had to close off new sign-ups to his app. After releasing a new version Friday, Airchat was quickly overloaded with people thirsting for a glimpse—or an audio snippet—of Silicon Valley’s newest fad. Ravikant had given a small number of users unlimited invites to share with friends, and it backfired. “We’ve had an influx of new users, so we’re turning off the invitation capability for a little while,” Ravikant said on Sunday.
What doesn’t? The app’s deployment, though, is quietly sensible. The transcripts for each Airchat voice note appear almost immediately, and they’re good. Pronounced “Ums” appear within the transcript, but other slight pauses and filler words are edited out. When I used the word “Airchat” in a voice note, it first showed as “error chat,” then quickly self-corrected.
