Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks! What we can share is that we have essentially three main parts - a custom NLP engine that is built specifically for texting (consists of numerous phases of filtering and normalizing), this is the core of Guggy and will be also used in the future for more entertaining applications. The second part is the creatively tagged image repository. Even though tech enables now to tag objects in images, it still can't d…

Thank you for the reply! It certainly does. Something that you guys might find interesting. Even after a day I already forgot exactly the name of Guggy, instead attempting to navigate to http://guppy.com and http://gubby.com . Probably just my bad memory, but might help you guys out if you see bad retention.

That's interesting.

We will think how to make our brand more memorable, thanks.

Nifty product! I think I'd purchase an app if I could get gifs without the watermark. It's a bit annoying to me. Nothing against your product, just giving feedback from this users perspective :)

That's completely understandable. To tell you the truth, we would also want to provide the GIFs without a watermark. However, we need to create brand awareness. Let's hope we will get to the point when we can remove it very soon :)

Wow, this is awesome. I've been toying with the idea of creating a GIF search engine (I find Giphy's search results rather weak). I'm impressed with Guggy's search results. Any chance you guys could talk more about how this is implemented? (I'd be interested in the tech stack as well) Edit: Your about page is 404'ing http://guggy.com/about
