A New Way to Guarantee Non Attribution and Message Expiration at the Same Time?

Why?

It’s obvious by the proliferation of systems to facilitate it (Snapchat, Cyberdust, etc.), that people are interested in having their communication protected by guaranteeing they are not permanent. There are two facets to it: 1. expire the message, and 2. do not have proof of who sent it. It’s good to have both even though one might be enough. The problem is with today’s systems: if you can see the message sent to you, you can record it by using another device like a camera and bypassing all of today’s “safety” mechanisms, and you end up having a record of what was sent and usually also by who.

How?

This is only good for text but might solve the problems above. The sender types in the text. The app converts the text to a sound file of the spoken text. The audio file is sent to the recipient. The recipient can only listen to the message, and it expires after a certain amount of time (even if not listened to.) Although another device can record the spoken text, it is a mechanical sound, and there is no way to identify who sent it. You do see who sent it in the app, but you don’t see the message itself since its a sound. This way you have no way of recording both who sent it and what they sent in one “snapshot,” you only have two separate pieces of information with no way to prove they are connected.

Know What Your Target Audience Is Currently Interested In

Why?

It would help you stay on target with the right message to the right audience at any given time.

How?

A service that analyzes social networks activity based on the participant’s age groups and other demographic and psychographic data available about the users of those social networks. At any given time you can see what your target audience is talking about and adjust your campaigns. Alternatively, the social networks might consider giving advertisers the same information as an add-on to the current data they provide.

Wine and Food Pairing Bot

Why?

You need to know your options now before guests arrive for dinner.

How?

A text messaging based bot that can understand the context of wine and food pairing. You just write what you are going to have for dinner and optionally what wines you have at home, and you will get the wine recommendation for each course or the whole meal if you want to limit it to one wine. Optionally, if you have no wines at home, you can also get a list of shops around you that stock the recommended wines.

Cooking AI Helper Bot

Why?

You would like to cook something and need help, something more than just browsing cookbooks and the internet.

How?

Have an AI bot on any of the platforms (Facebook, iMessage, or even a separate app), that can take your inquiries, understand them and give you some advice or if needed ask more guiding questions. You might write: I would like to grill a chicken quickly in an Indian style. The bot would ask more questions until they can give you a recommendation, and even then you can continue with more requests for information, questions, etc., until you finish cooking.

Truthful Advertiser Message Service

Why?

  1. Have a third party certify it.
  2. Grab attention in today’s noisily hyped world.
  3. Since most people interested in us won’t want to buy right now, but will buy from us when they do, we need a way remind them constantly they can buy from us.

How?

Insert a short code in the HTML email that will display your message (or one of several rotating messages) with the seal of approval by the “authority” providing the service.
