Wonder is a key-value store for your life. It's a simple way to remember the things you know you'll forget via text message. It uses natural language processing to both remember things and ask it things you've told it. I've found myself using Wonder quite often recently as I've been testing it. A good example is that I was moving recently, and forgot the gate code to the storage facility I had some furniture in. I stored the code in Wonder like so for future reference: "My gate code to Self Access Storage is abc123". Next time that I need to recall the gate code, I can just ask "What's the gate code for storage?"

Just tried this out in London, works beautifully! Great job guys :)
Shiv
@syedaliahmed Glad to hear that! thank you :)

How do you ask wonder to remember a list of things? I tried it just now but it missed the first item. And is there a way to update that listing to remember as well?
Shiv
@bryansarnold Sure, we will be rolling out the web version in a weeks time. You will be able to edit there :)
Jordan Singer
@bryansarnold We don't currently support a list of things, simply key:value, like "x is y". Updating is coming via a web dashboard soon.

So simple, yet so useful. Amazing work! @jsngr @shivkanthb
Shiv
@dylanfeltus Thank you Dylan :) Glad you like it. @jsngr

Get the security in place and this could be even more awesome! Great idea.
Paul Bae
LOVE. +1 for Alexa integration. Would pay for that!!!
Shiv
@realpb Glad to hear that! Thank you :) Coming soon to Alexa :)

What's the encryption like on this thing? Safe enough to store passwords?
Jordan Singer
@nickpericle We're rolling out a solution for passwords and more private things soon, for now I don't recommend storing anything like that.
Roman
Properly brilliant. Hands down.
Shiv
@romanzadyrako Thank you :)
Haroon
Love it. Finally a great use case for a chat bot. Only thing I'd suggest is changing your website headline as most consumers won't know what a key-value store is.
Jordan Singer
@haroon We pondered that decision as well, thanks for the feedback!
Melissa Monte
I want to like this but I can't get it to work properly. Whenever I write "Remember that Happy Hour at Blue Daisy is everyday from 4pm to 7pm" and then ask "happy hour at blue daisy" is just writes "4"... not exactly as helpful as I imagined...
Melissa Monte
I signed up for this, it asked for my phone number and within 3 hours I got a text with a link saying "What she wanted to tell you but couldn't." With a link to a Viagra ad. I'm pretty sure they're selling our info...
Paul Bae
@melissamonteee Can you be certain it wasn't a coincidence? Are you getting the spam from the same phone number as the Wonder service? I get spam all the time, hard to say from which app.
Jordan Singer
@melissamonteee This was certainly not from us. Can you confirm this was from our phone number? Please email singer.jordan@gmail.com
Shiv
@realpb @melissamonteee There is no way the message is from us. We don't sell our users information.
Paul Gilligan
Just love this. I'm always sending texts to myself to remember stuff. This is a far far better solution. So simple.
Damien
Excellent ! It's an original chatbot application ! I love the printer example. You should add the WIFI code too ;-)
Mike Stenhouse
This looks ace! Small bit of feedback... It's not clear from the website what platform this is going to use. Some mention of SMS would be good.
Jen Lee
Love the how simple, but powerful this is. Is there a way to search through all the things that I told the bot to remember? Or categorize them in any way?
Jordan Singer
@jenleeny Thanks! Search is simply "What is x?" for now, we might think about categorization later, but we don't have that currently.
Angelo Francisco
While the concept is great, reliability of the SMS service is really spotty in some countries like the Philippines. It also sent one of it's message using a number I had used to retrieve a code for Steam, so it seems to be being sent from multiple numbers (at least in my country).
Shiv
@eightbitjoker Coming soon to Messenger, Slack and the web :)
Srebalaji Thirumalai
Very nice one and impressed with the AI. It would be better if you have a fb messenger bot. And can you give the entire tech stack used to built the bot.
Shiv
@srebalaji Glad you liked it! Wonder is built on Ruby on Rails, uses Twilio for text messaging, Wit.ai for natural language processing, and a handful of other algorithms like Jaro-Winkler distance and overlap coefficient to determine string similarity to find the best key-value match.
Andrés Mangas Jiménez
@shivkanthb, why Wit.ai and not Dialogflow?
John Ramirez
Here's an idea.. Dev a iOS keyboard that records Wonder's "smart" key-store values from normal conversations in the background. So users are always using your IP even if they don't open your app.
John Ramirez
This is a really cool idea (and I don't say that much). I can actually envision a big future for this company where the algo sits behind all of the apps we interact with on a daily basis (SaaS) to provide its value proposition from anywhere, any device. With that said, please work to integrate it into existing platforms of communication so that it records the things you want to recall unconsciously. Good luck, Wonder!
Jordan Singer
@johnramirez Thanks John! I can't say we haven't thought about this :)
Ryan Hoover
Love the concept. Very Black Mirror. 😁 Although accessing these notes isn't super easy with existing interfaces. Something like this will be especially useful in an AR + voice-based future.
Jordan Singer
@rrhoover Thanks Ryan! An invisible app was the perfect interface to remember and query things via natural language, but we're working on a web dashboard where you can update your past memories.
