StorySense- Organizing the world's stories
- 1. This is a story about Organizing the World’s Stories.
- 2. We are StorySense. We love technologies, but we love stories even more.
- 3. Have you ever questioned… Should we abandon nuclear power? Is Apple still gonna innovate after Steve Jobs? Should I take their offer and sell my startup now? What can we do to win the StartupStory competition?
- 4. In the past, this is how we did search. Keyword 1 Keyword 2 Keyword 3 Keyword n Collect 1 Collect 2 Collect 3 Collect n Merge
- 5. What if we can make it just like that? Keyword
- 6. Stories are great. They inspire us, and help us understand things that come across our lives.
- 7. Even though stories are EVERYWHERE, they are buried and hard to find.
- 8. With this in mind,
- 9. after graduating from the MIT Media Lab, Edward chose to start his own dream.
- 10. 2009 a table, a sofa, a printer, that’s all he had.
- 11. Then, Victor and Dan joined and StorySense began.
- 12. We spent all our time building the core engine of the intelligent machine.
- 13. And one day we thought: Only building the engine doesn’t really work. We have to make a product.
- 14. On October 14, 2011, We launched our 1st product – WhatsTheNumber, with which we reinvent yellow page.
- 15. During the first 10 days, we had 100,000+ downloads. Anxious yet excited, we experienced the server crash because of the traffic spike.
- 16. We continued to fix bugs, and improved features in later versions.
- 17. We also interacted closely with our users, and got exposed to media and exhibitions.
- 18. Funding came in, so did more supports, and everything progressed just fine…
- 20. The usage of WhatsTheNumber didn’t grow as we imagined.
- 21. “Should we keep moving forward, OR Should we change the direction?”
- 22. We tried almost a hundred of different possibilities.
- 24. Until an unforgettable Friday afternoon, all of us sat around a table for the final decision,
- 25. We told ourselves, “No matter what happens, we know we will march on together.”
- 26. In June 2013, we moved to our new home, and more and more people joined.
- 27. We bonded very strongly with one another, yet we embrace different ideas.
- 28. Based on our core engine, We came up with a more complicated and challenging idea…
- 29. A personalized recommendation for WHERE-TO-GO & WHOM-TO-GO-WITH.
- 30. As the idea grew, It was also advanced in different dimensions.
- 31. It is called LAIKI. We are testing the alpha version, and launching it very soon.
- 32. -> --> - ---> -> --> -> --> ----> Along the way, we’ve learned that……
- 33. We are a TEAM. What doesn’t break us makes us stronger for the next big thing.
- 34. We love technology, but HUMAN and STORIES are all that matter.
- 35. In the future, we will make intelligent machines not only understand language, organize the fragmented data in the world,
- 36. but tell stories that are relevant to you, and enrich your life.
