@Marcelo

Thanks for the comment and clarification, and I for one completely understand the aspects. However, just so that you can put India on your radar soon, a couple of pointers:
1. English is the predominant language here at least when it comes to workplace communication
2. SMS is cheap here – even twitter once it removed SMS support in Europe continued to offer it in India besides US and Canada..

Hope these can be useful for you and perhaps enter here sooner than later.

@Dale
Completely agree with your point there

I have been beta testing AI applications that exist ‘within’ Twitter, and it seems that’s more natural than a whole other platform to contend with? Your idea that Twitter acquires Akibot sounds like best idea, so it becomes something in their API’s to tap into.

Seeing 3rd party AI applications already working within the Twitter universe (AI characters who seem to be designed for conversation, Brand promotion and presenting Followers with both entertainment and practical value) seems more intuitive. Actually, it’s more like actual conversation than most Twitter experiences.

Thank you Maneesh for such kind words. You did grab the whole vision of Akibot and wrote a very clean and easy to read article.

Akibot (for now) has no international support for the following reasons:

-Text messaging: if you posted an appointment, Akibot will remind you a few hours before sending you a text message to your mobile. We’re using an SMS platform that only allows US based cell phones…

-Regional settings: every country has different regional settings (date/time notation, time zones, etc) that needs some extra development

-Language: english has its own semantic rules, which are different than any other language. Adding a new language also means extra development

Thanks again Maneesh for such nice article and keep up the good work
