I don't disagree that NLP could be powerful, and I have thought about ways to make it syntactically aware.

But honestly the biggest barrier we face in adoption among licensees (platforms that would integrate our tech) is that they are simply uncomfortable with text that has colors in it. It's not about how much it helps any metrics (the things that NLP could improve) — it's just that most folks don't want to be early-adopters of crazy-looking tech.

Though I should note we do have some great licensees, especially in the education, impact, and accessibility markets.

Regardless, I'd love to chat with you further — please shoot me an email (contact@[domain]) if you're up for chatting about how we could deploy NLP as we develop.

So.. the VCs weren't wrong, and it is really UI/UX issues stopping you? And those same UI/UX issues are actually things your primary business has to overcome anyway?

It sounds to me like you should talk to those investors again ;)

I'll drop you an email.
