I can already order pizza and flowers and plane tickets myself. However, if you could handle requests like:

   Call Comcast for me and have them configure my Cisco 
   DPC3939B for bridge mode

   Go stand in line at the post office and retrieve 
   my package with tracking #xxxxxxxx

   My iPhone's screen is cracked.  Take it to the mall 
   and get somebody to fix or replace it, whichever's 
   cheaper.

   Bring me some Mongolian BBQ with the following 
   specifications.
... I can see this whole "magic" concept going places. :)

this adds a voice interface to all apps/services that do the fulfillment on the back end.

now you can safely order food to be delivered when driving home. or laundry pickup, or whatever.

"siri, text magic, i want a large pepperoni pizza delivered to my home in 1 hour."

Besides questions about revenue and such, can I just say that I absolutely love the landing page. No gimmicks, no parallax, no videos, no fake testimonials, no hero images, no marquees. Just good copy. Not sure if this is because of how quickly this blew up, but well done.

+1 no giant full-width+full-height responsive image

Okay this looks really interesting! And with no full-width+full-height responsive image, I can proceed... it's something different, something not exactly 100% what you would expect...

So intriguing... so what, dear MagicMan, is it? Would you kindly answer dear Sir, because I'm uncertain, and curiously in need of an answer before I text myself down the rabbit hole...

IT JUST LOOKS SO INTERESTING!!! ;-)

The other thing technology lets you do is specialize, which includes specialization in technologies of distribution, allocation, search, and fulfilment.

Its also refreshing that afore mentioned good copy got right to the point and told us what they do. No silly vaguenesses about a coming awesome product that they never really describe and then some email sign-up so that they can notify you when they actually have something to sell you.

Just what they can do for me right now. Hat's off. Good luck.
