Anyone interested in interruption free messaging should check out WiredIn: https://wiredinapp.com
It's an existing product, so you can try it yourself.
The biggest difference is that the interruptions are happening at the same time for the whole team, therefore increasing the total quiet-time of the company.
Answering anonymously is a big feature, I'm still considering what's the appropriate size of the company for such an option.
For example, Secret.app only allows you to see your friends secrets if you have 5 friends signed up...
Also yes, there's much to do with the data, we'll see what we can do there once people are actually using it!
Great suggestion, I will surely add a timeout after 48 hours!
Note that you can still see the answers live on the dashboard even if half the people filled the form.
Especially if you're young, there isn't much to lose. The world is indeed way bigger than one can imagine.
I'd love to see a book listing testimonies of people in their who did some unusual life/career move, with the outcome. I suspect most of it will be overwhelmingly positive.
Because I believe the knowledge graph of Freebase is way heavier than what's needed, and unless you know exactly the type of what you're looking for, it would make a software like Akiva way more complicated to build, imho. (or I missed something)
Everything you said is very much correct.
On the "AI" title, I know there is a long debate about what constitutes an AI and what doesn't, and I'm sure you're also aware of it, so I won't go there :)
There is no data in TheBigDB yet indeed, I've just (re)launched it as I'm releasing Akiva: you can take them as both proof-of-concept of each other, if that makes sense.
Obviously, the dataset in TheBigDB will grow with time, and the skills of Akiva will also.
I do!
I'm not sure how to do it "the right way" for now, but if I release some mobile or desktop app based on it, I'll make sure to work on that, thanks for the question!
I can be wrong, but being in a state of marriage with Y is a fact.
And since the DB handle time periods, with my way you can actually search who X is married to with one request, without checking if he divorced, if Y is dead, disappeared, or else.
