WRT the whole christmas gift theme, "Estimated delivery date: Summer 2017."

The explanation of why it can't run on a phone and why it needs a new currency is a little unconvincing.

"asteria can connect with any bot, command any service" But it can't run on a phone, why?

Certainly "its an open alexa/siri/now" sounds very interesting.

That looks mildly interesting to me. What do you see yourself using it for mostly? Do you have a personal application in mind, or are you a tinkerer just looking to have some fun?

I kind of like it but I don't know that it's calling my name quite yet.
