We build interactive voice experiences for your voice enabled devices. That sounds complicated. How about, we work with cool people like VP Joe Biden to curate stuff they like, and create new content that you can tap into. Joe Biden's’s Ground Control channel can read to you, send your phone a list of recommended books, or curate the newest and best short-stories published today. We work with interesting people to understand what gets them excited, and then build that into an evolving algorithm that understands their choice patterns.
