Gregory Naçu returns with an exciting update for C64 OS users: READYChat. This new instant messenger does more than send messages. It connects users with “Ready,” an internet-powered personal assistant capable of handling various commands. Before jumping into its features, Gregory starts by explaining the basics of installing READYChat.
He begins by showing how simple the installation process is, while highlighting a few key details users should note first. READYChat requires C64 OS version 1.08, which is a free update for anyone who already owns an earlier version. Once updated, users must ensure their Commodore 64 system is online. Gregory recommends reviewing the official C64 OS Networking Guide, which offers step-by-step help for connecting the machine to the internet.
After setting up, users can move on to account creation. In the second video, Gregory demonstrates how to make an account, customize settings, and adjust privacy preferences. Once configured, READYChat becomes an active communication hub, allowing users to connect with others and interact with Ready using built-in commands.
Gregory explores several commands in action. The “8ball” command gives playful answers to yes-or-no questions. The “convert” command handles quick unit conversions, while “today” offers a brief summary of the current date’s highlights. These examples showcase how installing READYChat transforms the C64 into a lively, connected experience with real utility beyond messaging.
As Gregory explains, READYChat is just the beginning. Future videos promise to dive deeper into Ready’s advanced capabilities, suggesting that this project will continue to evolve with new features. For now, users eager to try it can find all details, guides, and downloads on the official C64 OS website.
