@rickats Hi Rick, I completely understand your comments. In today's world so many people overused "big data" and had very minimal solutions for it. It definitely was a "buzzword" and so seems to be AI. However, that's where we're really striving to change the game. We're actually using data and creating tangible solutions for people. Most people don't even really know what big data is much less how to act upon it. We're using that data to do things like the following for businesses: - Automatically predict future sales and order inventory - Automatically handle their email marketing by creating, building and sending email newsletters - Over time it will answer support questions from their customers - Build a completely personalized website catered to customers based on what their interests are. Example: If you're an outdoor store and it detects a user is a female who is interested in skiing equipment, it shows her pictures on skiing and shows her women's skiing gear all throughout the site. Male snowboarder? Same thing, but on the exact same website. - A lot more Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Does it save businesses a huge amount of time, increase conversions, and help them grow? Absolutely. Now what I've just described is called "weak AI", which is really more of using data to analyze and execute on single tasks. What we want to get to is something called "strong AI", where a computer can exhibit behavior at least as skillful and flexible as humans do. An example of this is when a computer would go out and read a bunch of articles online related to a subject and then write a blog post for you on it. We absolutely think it's possible, but we're not there yet. We're striving to get there. It is our mission. I hope that conveys what we're trying to do. We are well aware of the 'gimmick' sentiments that surrounds AI. We're going to change that. Would love to personally give you a demo anytime.

@joshcaba thanks for clarification - I wish you guys all the best!

@marietatibouet Replace primarily. One of the things that is really hard about AI and automation, is that you really need systems to talk to one another to get the full power and you need them to have all the data. That being said, we also have integrations and will continue to build more :)

@yozapli Thank you for the suggestions. We're definitely going to do that.
