Re: Bond – Robowritten notes as a service
#2Getting a handwritten note is cool, I guess, but as soon as this type of thing becomes mainstream it's just as meaningful as an email yet far less efficient. I'm not seeing the big secret play behind the scenes that would make this really valuable.
What am I missing?

Slow adoption, niche service. Companies who adopt it think they'll look ahead of the curve, and to anyone who pays attention to paper mail and doesn't automatically treat it as spam, they might.

That's what I mean though, is the cure for email handwritten notes? Maybe there will be in person couriers for all important communication now. /s

#5Whew! I was worried there was something that marketing people couldn't cheapen. Thank goodness technologists have labored night and day to counterfeit handwriting. I especially like their oxymoronic slogan, "The Personal Touch, at Scale".
As has long been said, "If you can fake sincerity, you've got it made." I guess they're all set.

#6MailLift (https://maillift.com/) takes the alternative approach of crowdsourcing the writing.

#7Because nothing says 'insincere' like non-handwritten handwritten correspondence.

#8No thank you. The huge risk of a single customer finding out this deception and raising a storm on social media would completely reverse the potential benefit of having a more personal touch.
Maybe if used very carefully and very scarcely.

I actually think a short handwritten note to thank someone for meeting with you or whatever is a nice gesture that stands out from the standard email and doesn't take much effort. Of course, that's real handwritten, not faux handwritten.
I do receive marketing materials from time to time that make a particular effort to stand out--sent FedEx or physical swag of some sort or gimmicky attempts at games/contests/etc. I admit they usually get me to at least look at the mailing though I'm probably no more likely to buy something.

These guys are far from being the first to automate handwriting and signatures. Chances are if you get a form letter back from a politician, important person, etc. it's been signed by a robot like this.
