Tangentially related: Does anyone remember the name of this startup/service that was on HN (I believe), that enables you to infer actions from plaintext. Eg: "Switch on the lights" becomes {"action": "switch_on", "thing" : "lights" } etc.. I'm trying really hard to remember the name but it escapes me. Speech recognition and <above service> will go very well together.

  I've been meaning to ask someone at Wit.ai this for a while: Since your service is completely free, how do you plan on surviving? Would you open source any parts of Wit.ai should you go under? I feel these are important questions to ask before investing time & energy into using your otherwise awesome service...
