A Smart Personal Email Assistant Bot
Why?
Email is an asynchronous communications system, but many use it as an instant messenger. If you are like me, you don’t check your email every five minutes. I check mine once or twice a day, sometimes even less. Many don’t know that, so it would be good to have something smart that can reply in the mean time. You could use an auto-reply “holiday” message, but it’s too impersonal.
How?
Have a smart bot that can reply in a more personal way and alert you when needed. First, the bot will analyze your email use patterns to be able to predict your behavior: who is important to you, when, how often, for how long do you reply and write emails, etc. Then it will start sending automated responses when it’s appropriate and alerting you when it’s urgent. Some examples:
– It’s someone important that you usually reply to quickly, but it might be a while before you do this time. The bot will reply with an estimated time you will probably see the email, inform the sender that you will be alerted immediately because the matter seems important, and alert you to check the email ASAP.
– It’s someone you haven’t heard from in a long time (or never). The bot will reply explaining your way of using email and an estimate as to the time you will see the email.
– It’s an ongoing thread about scheduling an appointment. The bot will use your calendar to – if possible – reply with possible options.
– An automated email arrived regarding your flight tomorrow being cancelled. The bot will alert you immediately with the relevant information extracted from the email.

Get an Alert When Something Exiting Is Happening in a Live Sports Event on TV
Why?
So you can do something else but still, catch all the exciting moments.
How?
Build into TV sets the function to monitor the human voice (of the sports commentator). When you turn this mode on the TV’s volume will go down so as not to disturb you, but when the reporter’s voice becomes excited it will automatically turn up the volume so you will not miss the exciting moment.

Best Current Tools for Marketing Used by the Experts
Why?
There are many tools out there, and many things are always changing: markets, new tools, new or improved features of existing tools, etc. If you had a place you can always get the experts’ view on what they are currently using and think is best, it would help.
How?
A website where we get the leaders in marketing to tell us what they are using currently for each purpose and why. You’ll be able to find the expert you either trust the most or has a similar situation to yours, and see what tools they use. We will keep each one updated, and you can even get an alert when things change.

Automatic “Off Time” While Driving
Why?
Reading text while driving, or worse, answering to text received on your phone is very dangerous.
How?
A function of the phone that detects when you are in a car and driving and ask if you are the driver. If you answer yes or just don’t respond to the phone will turn off notifications for received texts.
