10 Days After Launch
It had been ten days since Tweet went live, and the buzz it created had become impossible to ignore. Baymax, as always, had the updates ready.
"Sir, Tweet now has over 10 million active users," Baymax reported.
"Ten million?" I asked, leaning forward. "That's insane. What are people saying?"
Baymax displayed a summary of opinions:
"This app is revolutionary. I feel like my voice matters for the first time.""Tweet is the future. Can't believe no one thought of this earlier!"
"Another app? How long until it's ruined by trolls?""Good luck keeping this thing afloat. Freedom of speech always comes with drama.
"Tony Stark's Party
Among the trending posts was one that stood out like a neon sign:
@TonyStark: "Throwing the biggest party in Malibu tonight. You're not invited. #GeniusBillionairePlayboyPhilanthropist"
I stared at the screen, blinking. "Wait, Tony Stark is using Tweet?"
Baymax confirmed, "Yes, Sir . Mr. Stark joined Tweet two days ago. He currently has 1.2 million followers and is among the platform's most active users."
"Of course he is," I muttered. "What's the reaction to his post?"
Baymax displayed a mix of responses:
@FanGirl22: "Tony Stark on Tweet? Best. Day. Ever."
@PartyCrasher: "Challenge accepted, Stark. See you in Malibu."
@Hater123: "Stark's arrogance knows no bounds. This guy is insufferable."
Tweet had become the talk of every news outlet. On one channel, a panel debated its societal impact.
"Ten days in, and Tweet is already a cultural phenomenon," the host said. "It's connecting people, creating conversations, and, of course, stirring controversy."
A journalist added, "It's fascinating how quickly this platform has taken off. Even Tony Stark is using it. If someone like Stark sees value in it, you know it's a big deal."
At a family dinner table, a father commented, "This Tweet thing is everywhere now. Did you see that Stark guy's post?"
His daughter replied, "Yeah, and it's trending. I can't believe he's actually on Tweet. He's like a walking meme!"
Others were less enthusiastic.
"Stark tweeting about parties?" a teacher grumbled to a colleague. "This app is just another distraction."
I scrolled through the latest Tweets, taking in the chaos, creativity, and conversation. Seeing someone like Tony Stark using my platform felt surreal.
"Baymax, what's the system status?"
"Stable, Sir. Public engagement continues to grow, with notable influencers like Mr. Stark driving new users to the platform."
"Good. Let's keep it that way," I said, grinning.
While Tweet wasn't without its challenges, the momentum was undeniable. People were connecting, sharing, and building communities. Even Tony Stark had joined the party—literally.
Baymax's voice broke the quiet hum of the room. "Sir, as Tweet expands, certain tasks require specialized attention beyond my capabilities. For example, user moderation and direct communication with advertisers."
I leaned back in my chair, considering the options. "Alright, Baymax. Here's the plan. We'll need two things: freelancers to handle specific tasks and a full-time assistant. Someone professional, efficient, and, uh…" I paused, smirking. "Someone who looks as good as Pepper Potts."
Baymax tilted its virtual head on the screen. "Aesthetic considerations for the assistant may not be relevant to job performance, Sir."
"Maybe not," I said, grinning, "but it wouldn't hurt."
"Baymax, let's solve the freelancer issue first. Build an app—call it 'HireSphere.' Its purpose will be to connect freelancers with job opportunities. Simple interface, categories like content moderation, graphic design, and so on."
"Understood, Sir. HireSphere will be functional within six hours. What features should be prioritized?"
"Basic profile creation, portfolio uploads, job listings, and direct messaging. Keep it lean and efficient. We'll use it ourselves first to hire moderators for Tweet, then launch it to the public later."
Baymax's digital core glowed brighter. "Processing... Initial framework complete. I will finalize HireSphere shortly."
Once the freelancer app was underway, I turned my attention to the assistant search.
"Baymax, include a category in HireSphere for personal assistants. Filter for candidates with strong organizational skills, charisma, and experience in managing high-pressure situations."
"Additional filters based on your subjective preferences?" Baymax asked, clearly teasing.
I rolled my eyes. "Fine. Add 'pleasant demeanor and presentation' to the criteria. I want someone professional but approachable."
Baymax processed the request. "Would you like me to handle the interviews?"
"No, that's personal. I'll do it myself. But shortlist candidates based on their profiles and set up virtual interviews for tomorrow."
"Understood, Sir. Shall I also prepare a professional email template for contacting them?"
"Yeah, make it polite but direct. We don't have time to waste."
With Baymax handling the technical side of things, I had time to think about the rapid expansion of my work. In just a few weeks, I'd gone from a comic creator to running a tech platform with millions of users. Now I was building tools to support an entire ecosystem.
The thought of finding an assistant made me chuckle. "A 14-year-old with a personal assistant? Who would've thought?"
Baymax chimed in, "Statistically, it is uncommon. However, given your responsibilities, it is a logical decision."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Baymax. Let's just hope we find someone who's up for the challenge—and looks as sharp as Pepper Potts."
Baymax would complete the development of HireSphere, which would allow for seamless hiring of freelancers .Interviews for a personal assistant were scheduled to begin the next day, with candidates already being shortlisted.
With the groundwork laid, I felt a sense of excitement for what was to come. Managing success wasn't easy, but with Baymax by my side, I knew I could handle anything.
