We met Bee when we ran the world's first Personal AI meetup in April last year. As a user of Bee (and not an investor! just a friend!) it’s genuinely been a joy to use, and we were glad to take advantage of the opportunity to ask hard questions about the privacy and legal/ethical side of things as much a…","meta_description":"Bundle tickets for AIE Summit NYC have now sold out.
