Ask HN: Review my startup idea
Nowadays, people post almost everything happening in and around their life on various social-media platforms. So, I am working on an AI assistant which will return more personalized results by searching for user queries in user's, user's friends', local and global social-media posts.
For example if you want to know whether your friend would be going to that party or not, you can ask this assistant and it will search for his/her social-media posts and will return with relevant results (after taking user's permission) or if you just felt an earthquake you can ask this assistant and it will search for relevant posts in your friends' as well as local social-media posts.
Please let me know your feedback and further suggestions like should I develop a standalone app or should I integrate this with services like Alexa and Google home?
- GrumpyNl 9y agohave a look at this hubofallthings.net in combi with rumpel
- kylelibra 9y agoImmediate reaction: what prevents the social media players to cut off your source of data and just do this themselves?
- eshlomo 9y agoI would leave the word AI out of it and focus on value. The value you suggest is not about asking but getting quick summary of activity per person/location. This souds like an aggregator which can succeed but its pretty hard path. Main problem with aggregator is that there are no barriers - if you fail then nobody cares and if you succeed then competition will copy super fast. The core observation you have is correct, I am missing the teak that will make significant barrier for competition.
