Our vision is to make it easy for developers to make apps or devices that can leverage AI/NLP/Speech. As you probably know, the key is the amount of data you can collect. The more data, the better your models will be, the better you API is. When you are a startup, you need at some point to generate revenue to continue to grow/hire even if you objective is to gather more data

We will be releasing an import/export in the next 2 weeks

We understand the concern here at Wit. It's free because we no longer need to generate revenue. Wit developers spend time validating data that is critical to improve the models for the Wit community. When we joined Facebook in Jan 2015, we updated our Terms of service to mention that you can retrieve your training data if Wit closes at some point. FYI, the training data (expressions, intents, entities) is the critical component. The plan is to continue supporting and growing the product. The release of Bot Engine Beta a few months ago is a proof.

Curious to know what would happen if 2 or more bulbs broke at the same time?
Looks interesting! I'd love to hear more about your ideal use case. Who can benefit from it? I browsed through the site and was left unsure of who exactly is going to use it. Any hints?

Great feedback again, the query limit is the total aggregate across all the private instances of a user

It very much reminds me of Glass Beach, near Fort Bragg California...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_Beach_(Fort_Bragg,_Califo...
I respectfully disagree. As far as I understand, it is not about Q&A/jeopardy kind of context. It's about generating a TED speech that would involve deep domain expertise but more importantly tone and speech technics to make it great to hear...

it looks nice but the on-boarding process is a shame. Advertising the "get yours free" knowing that the cap has already been achieved is not really honest as for me.

same. I wish I knew it before
