Question for those who've used Magic: how was your experience? What did you buy, and under what circumstances? (ie, was the item cheap? hard to find? Did you need it immediately?)
I've found that the tech behind this is actually quite scalable, thanks to Twilio. As other commenters have pointed out though, Magic's concept has already existed (free) for a long time, through concierge services like Visa signature and Amex Platinum. What's different and innovative here are the sms-interface and the hidden, Instacart-like surcharge.
- MichaelGG 12y agoInnovative here are the promises to do anything, just by texting. Calling up the Amex concierge service seemed like more of a big deal. And explaining to them I'd like them to get food delivered to me... Dunno how'd that go. They certainly don't market it for stuff like that.
