Great question biasforaction! Snap/insta is used primarily for broadcasting your life "at" people. Our new video format is all about talking "with" your friends. We use speech to text and NLP to embed what you say in the video, that way your friends always get the message. The result is fluid communication that flows as smooth as texting, but with the personality, character and connection that only video can offer. We've then built upon this foundation in clever ways to bring you closer together with the people in your life that matter the most. If you'd like early access to our app, DM me on twitter and I'd be happy to share! https://twitter.com/samuel_mueller

A valid question in general, but not for the Who is hiring thread.
