My biggest issue with this is that most people shop around and compare prices, especially when shopping for hotels or gifts. A lot of there demos may apply in last minute buying situations, but I don't see people using it when they want to find the best price on something. Especially since only select service providers are available. It is extremely impressive though.
- tedmiston 10y agoExactly. Also, I might search on multiple services to seek out a better deal vs. what is the quickest and easiest to purchase. I think Viv needs to have a good understanding of your preferences [across requests] to do that well.
- FreedomToCreate 10y agoThey are looking at it from the point of view of giving the normal man a personal assistant like the millionaires. But a normal person has to optimize how they use their money. They can't abstract away purchase decisions because they are a combination of financial and personal. I may need a hotel but I don't necessarily want the best one (ex. the most expensive) or the cheapest (ex. the grungy one). I usually research where in the city I want to spend time and find a hotel within my budget.
