| Where will the data live? If it's outside my servers I can't use it. How will it decide what's important? We have so many things that automated systems have declared unimportant and yet which turn out to be critical. Currently commercial spam systems are running at around a 10% false positive rate. Quite simply, we can't rely on them. Why would your system be any different about deciding what's important and what isn't? Critical information is often not recognised as such until significantly after the fact, and very well may be in a throw-away comment. So we have a system that crawls our email archives, chat logs, and other data sources, and uses an automated word2vec-like and tf–idf system to find similarities. Then we have a browser that makes the database look like a wiki - you just click on links till you find what you want, usually just one or two clicks away. But I have no idea what you're building. The description is of something magical that will solve all your problems, but it doesn't say anything about what it actually does. The web site is slick, but it makes it look like you have something ready to go. Then the rug is pulled out from under me and it's clear that while you might have something in development, you don't have a product. Why not be honest? Say up front you're working on this and offer decent inducements to get quality feedback on people's concerns, what they use, what their current system gets right, their pain-points, and what they'd like to be able to do but currently can't. This may be unjust, but the site feels dishonest. I know it's the current trend popularised by some book or other to pretend to have a product and see how many bites you get in order to gauge your potential market, but it puts me completely off. I now don't feel like I can trust you. To address your actual questions: Would I use it? No idea - you haven't told me why I would. What features would be valuable? No idea, I don't know what it might be able to do. What do I want? A machine into which I type a vague query, it asks for clarifications, then gives me a definitive answer, or a definitive "That's not in my records." So there you are, 400 words, 10 minutes of my time. Even though I feel cheated by your web site I hope you find that useful, and wish you the best of luck. |
