KevinAI - In honor of his 17th anniversary with THWACK

Okay guys, let's spread the word! I've been campaigning in the chat of product demos for months and there's a lot of support in there for it.

SolarWinds has been ramping up their AI coverage of late. When I started hearing of this, my mind went to one place and one place only.

We have Siri, Alexa, Cortana, all of these systems with names. So what to call the SolarAI?

What else?

The time of year just so happens to line up nicely also! 😁

oooh!! I have to think about this one! But can't wait to see what people come up with!

Now that's funny. But, like your meme image, it would just make me think of Home Alone. I'm not good with creating names for things or purposes but I will have a think.

Sol-AI - "Hey SolAI (sounds like SolAYE), I've lost my brain and need to rely on you to do my work for me!"

Sorry…. I'm somewhat negative about the proliferation of AI, and how the vast majority of users use it to do their work for them, rather than it being used for something useful like medical research etc etc.

Said it before and I'll say it again! AI is a tool, not a replacement. A while back I saw a Mercedes that advertised AI climate control. Uh, really?

Anyway, if we're going down this path, KevinAI is the way to GO!

@ahawkins72, You and I have been discussing this one for minute now. It's catchy, it fits, and It just makes perfect sense. Regardless of the season, when you need SolarWinds help… you just yell, KEVIN! You had me at KevinAI. You had me at the meme. I'm in! Thumbs up! Plus up! Lets do this!

Hmm… How about Dyson? Dyson Spheres are built to harness all the power of the solar output from a star?

I am down with KevinAi. although can we give it a Max Headroom feeling where Kevin's face talks to you while Ai'ing.

ahawkins72

I'm completely good with that!

How about a shortened version of his Thwack username? "SigmaAI" or even just "Sigma"

Nice :) Sigma is also a common word used by Gen Alpha :)

I am as well good with KevinAI or KevAI :)

OR if you want to link it back to keep the name related to something related to SolarWinds - SolAI looks good :)

Or something weirder like Solar Flares or FlareAI or SolFAI lol

KevAI or SolAI sounds great - thumbs up from me on either one of them :)

I'm surprised they didn't call SolarAI Asteria.

I still think Kevin is a better choice.

marcrobinson

Not Kevai or solai - they sound awkward. KevAIn or just Kevin. NOT SigmAi. Nor OhAIo (that is spelled OH - IO for those of you living in Michigan), nor SkibidAI…. Please no.

On second thought. If the SkibidAI pops out of a toilet to offer suggestions - that might be marketing magic for the young ones. And there are ready made toys for your thwack points. BUT I do not think it will pass corporate approval.

marcrobinson

Hmm, Bring Orion back as the AI name.

ahawkins72

That comment was a wild ride! 😂 I think I just want plain "Kevin"

superfly

I just watched Home Alone yesterday for Christmas :)

I think it should be called ThwackAI.
