#23The Life Bot has been really great and responsive around their private Facebook group. They shared that they will be opening up a developer friendly API to allow easy integrations with Alexa. Im looking forward to this.
Thanks for your comment :)

#24Sounds cool, I don't have an Echo though. When can I get this on my other devices?

Hey! thanks for your comment. We're launching on Google Assistant in a couple of weeks so watch out for that. After that we'll launch on Cortana as well. We keep everyone updated on our fb group about new releases if you wanted to join :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/lifebot/

You're right you can also do this through ITFF!
We think it's easer through Life Bot though as at no stage do you have to create an account. Setup is all through voice and SMS!

hey! thanks for your comment. We recognise that IFTT can do reminders, but our aim with Life Bot is to hide as much of the setup process as possible from our users. For example the set up process is really easy with Life Bot. On 1st time use, we ask for their phone number which they speak, then we text them asking for their name and email. The next time they open the skill we confirm their time zone and then they are ready to go with the reminders feature.

#30This is an interesting play in the voice space...kind of reminds me of the role Dropbox has played in online storage vs GOOG, MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, etc. By being platform agnostic, users can get a unified and better experience across their devices.
Right now voice is cool, but to me it's a little bit of a gimmicky feature that acts differently across devices from different ecosystems. It makes it that much harder to universally change my behavior toward voice across the different devices I use. I can see how Life Bot could change that.
Have you guys thought about the ecosystem dynamics for Life Bot? Do you think the big players will play nice if you start to own the voice relationship with the user, instead of AMZN/GOOG/MSFT/AAPL?
