I would love to finally see some progress here. Worked on something similar 20+ years ago and got so burned out by the process and huge amount of capital needed.

“ Solgene Therapeutics' patented drug-delivery technology enables the encapsulation, in a porous ceramic material, of living cells that secrete therapeutic compounds. After implantation, the material shields the encapsulated cells from the host's immune system while allowing passage of nutrients and therapeutic cell-secreted compounds. Implanted cells continue to function, thus mimicking natural processes. Solgene believes it can create competitive advantages in under-served biotech markets. It seeks revenues through alliances to commercialize hard-to-deliver, cell-secreted, large-molecule therapies. Solgene proved its concept by overcoming diabetes in diabetic mice. Target applications include delivery of livestock therapies, growth factors for bone healing, and a cell-secreted HIV therapy.”

But… where are all the ads???

I tried a number of simple Italian words and I kept thinking it was German and getting it wrong. I even tried "hola" and it couldn't get it.

Interesting. Thanks.

Echo Dot (2nd gen) -- currently $39.99 https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Echo-Dot-2nd-Generation/dp/B0...

Couldn't tell me who the CEO of Apple is... :(

This sounded cool until, "Now Goel is forming a business to bring the chatbot to the wider world of education.” // are all educators just trying to create companies these days?

Pretty sure that phone call was staged to make it look more live.

Good reminder

This makes me sick. Jeremy makes me sick. Despicable.

Look into OpenEars. It's pretty crummy but it's free :/

It's not low cost yet, but check out http://josh.ai. Starting high end but price will drop significantly.

Pretty bad except for keyword spotting.

It's a double-edged sword for privacy reasons.

1. A number of early customers we've spoken with don't like the idea of an always listening device. The perception is an invasion of privacy.

2. There's a fear that someone outside the home could simply yell a command like "unlock the doors" to gain access. There are a number of ways one could solve this, but it's a fear we've heard about.

So the extra friction of taking out your phone and pressing a button so far seems worth the added layer of privacy and security, but we're definitely thinking hard about this one.

Thanks! I am honestly amazed so many people were able to get to that page. We plan on going live with the website next week and right now it takes a fair bit of digging around to get there. That said, it is technically "public" facing so I'm fixing it up as soon as Stripe permits. Will probably disable the button in the meantime if you go back.

Gender: we have a variety of systems set up and we try to give them each a unique personality. My home, for example, is a male named Theodore with a British accent. The LA office is Scarlett and the Denver office is Samantha.

Website: we have a new website launching soon with a lot more information. You stumbled upon a page I hope to finish building today. Sorry for the confusion.

"Voice programming": We chose to focus on getting a product to market and proving customer demand before building out the entire developer portal. It's definitely the plan and we want to do it, it's just not where we see early revenue coming from and as a small team we have to pick our battles. I can't wait to open this stuff up when ready.

Good points! Thanks for the feedback :)
