Off to a good start, but needs improvement

Overall, FastTrackr AI is a decent tool – especially considering the price. After a few days of playing around with it, there are already quite a few things I like about it.

• It actually remembers most of the stuff that I tell it to remember. This means that it's easy to reference information that I've given it in the past.

• I can voice-command it to schedule a Google Meet call, for example, and it does it + adds it to my calendar + sends the invites to the people I tell it to send it to.

• I enjoy not having to manually search my email inbox for a piece of information – I just have to ask FastTrackr a question, and it will find the right information in my emails.

Still, there are quite a few shortcomings that make FastTrackr a bit of a hassle to use:

• It seems like it can't search the web. While this might not be a huge thing, it does mean that you can't ask questions about recent, real-time, or upcoming events, happenings, news, etc.

• The frustrating part is that it won't admit that it can't search the web or it won't admit that it doesn't know something or can't answer your question. It will still answer your question with information that seems real – except it's not. This means that if the accuracy of the information you receive is important to you, it might be worth it to double-check it just in case.

• And even when it does give you a valid response, it's usually not on the same level as some other AI tools (like ChatGPT or Voila AI). I guess it's fine if you already have WhatsApp open; but I'd probably choose a different app for purely AI conversations, content generation, or to obtain general information.

• If you don't add your contacts (by telling the AI each of your contacts' name + email), it won't be able to identify your contacts. This means that you can't send meeting invites without first adding all your contacts.

• BUT 7/10 times when I tried adding a contact, I got the following message: "Tap this link to add a new email! 🎉 The new one will be your primary by default, but no worries—you can always ask the AI to switch it up anytime! 😉" – now, this means that I actually had to "trick" the AI into adding a contact, and tweak my prompt until it worked (and the prompt that worked one time may not have worked the next time around).

• The response time is... slow. It's nowhere near instant; in fact, it's more similar to chatting with a friend who is also engaged in 2-3 parallel conversations on WhatsApp. You'll get your answer – but you might have to wait 1-3 minutes for it.

• I've also encountered a few cases when the AI "forgot" to respond to me at all. I told me to hold on for a minute, and then never got back to me. I might be doing something wrong, but this is pretty frustrating.

• And finally, it's WhatsApp-based, but this is 100% clear from the product page. While this is not a clear disadvantage, it does mean that every time you want to ask the AI to do something, you have to 1) open WhatsApp; 2) find your chat with FastTrackr; 3) open the chat with FastTrackr; 4) either type something, or hold the microphone button to speak. This is significantly more steps than other AIs (like ChatGPT or Voila for text-based, or Hedy AI or VoiceNotes for voice-based). Again, you make your purchase fully aware of this. But to me, not having a standalone app is a disadvantage nonetheless (and it probably would be to you too if WhatsApp isn't your primary messaging app). This makes the user experience a bit slow (for me) – and along with the wait time for the response, it's not much faster than manually scheduling a meeting on Google Meet.

Don't get me wrong, it's a decent app with honest marketing behind it, and the price makes this deal a no-brainer! But it still has a long way to go before I'd be comfortable with giving it 4, or even 5 tacos.

Hi Vikinfinity,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of FastTrackr AI. We truly appreciate your candid feedback—it’s incredibly valuable as we continue to refine and improve the product.
We’re glad to hear that you like the concept and some of the core features, such as memory retention, scheduling meetings, and email search capabilities. It’s great to know these aspects are working well for you!

That said, we completely understand the areas you highlighted for improvement. Let me address a few of those points:
Response Time & Reliability: We’re aware that response delays can sometimes occur, largely due to WhatsApp API limitations. We're actively working to create our standalone interface.
Adding Contacts: We hear you on the challenges with adding contacts. Simplifying this process is already on our roadmap, and we’re working on updates to make it more intuitive and hassle-free.
Web Search & Accuracy: FastTrackr currently integrates APIs like Perplexity and Claude for web searches, but we recognize there are cases where results may fall short or be inaccurate. We're doubling down on improving the accuracy and transparency of responses to ensure users are informed when certain queries cannot be answered confidently.
Reliability of Responses: The issue of the AI occasionally “forgetting” to respond is something we'll actively investigate. We’re committed to ensuring this doesn’t happen moving forward.
User Experience on WhatsApp: While WhatsApp integration has its conveniences, we also understand the limitations it presents for certain users. The launch of our standalone app should address this concern and provide a smoother experience.

We’ve also recently rolled out new features, such as to-do reminders and voice note-to-Notion integration, to make FastTrackr even more useful.
Once again, thank you for your detailed insights and suggestions. Your honest feedback helps us grow and evolve, and we’re committed to turning FastTrackr into a tool that exceeds expectations. If you have any additional thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to share it on support@fasttrackr.ai we’d love to hear them!

Best regards,
Prad
