Mhm.

So yet another Siri.

Apparently "Vernax" is behind it: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/vernax#/entity

Website is down: http://www.vernax.com/

They really need a native English speaker to clean up the text on the homepage though. Lot's of sub-optimal phrasing.

I hope this is helpful feedback:

* There are several small typos on the page ("How does it works?") that distract from its content.

* The testimonials strike me as all having the same writer's voice.

* What appears to set "Audrey" aside from, say, Alexa is the promise that you can take a moment to train the AI when it misunderstands you. That's a great feature; I can tell Alexa that she was wrong (via the app), but that's tedious and may take months to see my feedback enacted. Immediately linking what I said to the desired outcome for future use would be ideal. I'd like to see an example of what that looks like for this app, even if it's just a mock-up.

Thank you very much for the feedback. Will refill coffees and start working on those. We are sorry for the grammar, we will make those changes as soon as possible. Must have slip off our mind to get them checked due to caffeine overdose.

We actually have a video showing how it works. It will be up on the site soon! I promise!

They're from Toronto! That makes it even weirder that they have some pretty rough ESL issues.

> It reinvents how people interact with artificial intelligence by allowing you to teach it instead of guessing what it'll understand.

Putting out an app like this seems like a great idea, if only to have a platform to start collecting and cleaning data (for your MTurkers, relatives, and bored employees). Speaking of which the privacy policy link goes nowhere...

On a related note, does anyone have details on the penalties for not having a privacy policy on a Google Play app? They seem to be a little more insistent on having one than Apple.
