You should pivot to an 'uber for conversations' where at any point you can tap a button, get billed $5, and have a professional screenwriter finish your conversation for you.

You could have 'peak' rates trigger at night to satisfy demand for all the people scrambling to get laid.

Lots of unemployed screenwriters, lots of people wanting to get laid, that is a market waiting to happen.

This is precisely our target state vision and where we are making significant progress in development (including an innovative pricing strategy). We would love to talk if you're interested, please feel free to email us at miimicteam@gmail.com

I'm not entirely sure but I am pretty certain siliconc0w was being sarcastic...

Thanks!

You've just invented CaaS: "Cyrano as a service". I'm not sure what this says on the state of Western civilization, but it's the sort of app that could easily be covered by mainstream newspapers, so you must be onto something. Good luck!

Thanks, toyg!

All flirting jokes aside, this would be a fantastic service for communications within government and corporate environments.

For those in marketing, managing people on the street that are handing out flyers, promotions, etc from one number would be a fantastic asset.

For groups of friends who wholesale stuff on craigslist, having a single point of contact via text would also be great.

Nice concept.

Is this text flirting for awkward people who can't come up with their own responses or is there another use case? I liked @spartango's idea of an email version for team interactions with sensitive partners/clients/contracts... but I can't see why anyone with even average social skills would use this. I'm not sure text messaging (where each message is relatively low-value and usually to friends who don't care) is the…

I often see people asking feedback from one another regarding how a conversation is going, what another person could have implied, etc. An app to facilitate sharing and collaboration over SMS conversations sounds like an extension of this behavior.

(Not endorsing it, but it doesn't strike me as something that only socially clueless people would use.)
