'''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.'''   

*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.  

*Identifying additional participants to increase the number of people testing the smart display to 10.

*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.

*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.
