| | | | ||
* | '''An always-on voice-enabled smart screen device to keep track of the activities, events, and to-do lists of family members. Initial focus for the prototype is on Reminders only.''' | ||
* | |||
'''MVP1 Hypothesis that Remains to be Tested''' | |||
*Offering a solution that provides an alternative way to create and manage reminders, lists & schedules using a smart display, families would be able to accomplish their tasks 20% more times than before. (Pending smart display device to test) | |||
Preparation for Study 2 for MVP1 | |||
*Evaluating Lenovo tablet to use for testing a smart display. | |||
*Building improvements, including ability to set up accounts for each family member and edit reminders. Need to get new front end working with new back end. Only one developer available this week and next. | |||
*Want to have device ready for internal testing by end of August and ready for study participants by mid-September. | |||
*Identifying additional participants to increase the number of people testing the smart display to 10. | |||
'''MVP2 Hypothesis''' | |||
*Creating a product that leverages voice interaction & chatbot to coordinate small gatherings will result in these families seeing | |||
**50% reduction in the time required to coordinate such events using traditional methods of email, sms, phone calls | |||
**25% quicker response rates from recipients | |||
Study 1 for MVP2 | |||
*Tools being used in the Wizard of Oz style study to gain insights into how people coordinate simple events prevent the coordination "bot" from sending group chat messages. Study results show that people are suspicious when they receive a text message from an unknown source with no one else copied on the text. Many are ignoring the text, but once they start using the bot, they like what they see and feedback has been positive. Want to try email messaging by the "bot" next. | |||
'''Identifying Interest''' | |||
*Working on identifying potential customers who can be used in focus groups and/or for testing. Goal of signing up at least 50 users for updates. | |||
Cue Landing Page and Video: | |||
*Working on the targeted Facebook campaign to drive traffic to a landing page that will host a video to clearly articulate the vision for Cue. Script for the video has been developed. | |||

* | * Continue to explore the 2 opportunity areas identified | ||
* | * 1. Better routines and habits | ||
** The connected home can help us form new habits, maintain healthy habits and change existing bad habits in order to meet goals that we have set for ourselves and others. For example, | |||
*** The connected home could help capture real time information on whether the desired behavior is being followed and then provide us with relevant information so that we can act accordingly. | |||
*** The connected home could provide real time nudges and reminders to encourage us to engage in our desired behavior. | |||
* 2. Enhanced communication and connection | |||
** The connected home can facilitate the relay of information between people in the home, or encourage conversations and moments of connection between loved ones that reside in the home or live elsewhere. For example, | |||
*** By detecting presence, the connected home could create "scenes" that are tailored to the people who are in the room. Objects could also be tagged so the presence or absence of that object would trigger the scene. | |||
*** The connected home could create a new paradigm for short-form communication between family members that has elements of physicality and intimacy, thereby enabling opportunities for deeper connection. | |||
* Plan to present some initial ideas to test user feedback next week | |||
