Seen the other comments and will wait till it's live in India. Is there any video preview of it., where you can see the audio at play? @porterhaus
Jonathan Porter
@kavirkaycee good question. I'll create a preview with audio and update here as well as our email list.

This is what happens when Makers collaborate - we can have nice things. Big thanks to @bissenmann for letting us spread the idea and create a voice app version of his project. This has by far been our favorite project to work on and we've learned so much in doing so. I'm excited to hear what you guys think and we would love feedback! Digital Socrates 2.0 is more personalized, has significantly more questions, remembers his interactions with you and works on both Alexa and Google assistant. Oh, and he has a wonderful British accent now (on Alexa). We have more categories in the works such as: - Relationships - Career - Health Don't see a category you want? Suggest one here: https://forms.gle/tBS3EmV5UBP2mULL8 Also, we have a bunch of apps we plan to release soon if you're interested in increasing productivity, improving memory, and are interested in self-improvement in general. Sign up here for updates: https://mailchi.mp/96e05fcb4e19/... **UPDATE** The skill is now live around the world in following supported languages: - English (AU) - English (CA) - English (GB) - English (IN) - English (US) @lyondhur, @darcie_jo_a, @kavirkaycee I hope you get a chance to try it now and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

@lyondhur where do you live? Currently it is US only but we are rolling out to other countries after we’ve gotten some feedback. If you sign up for our email I will be sending notifications when that happens!

@porterhaus New Zealand mate. ;) I’d rather have an ETA than another email subscription. Sorry about that.
Jonathan Porter
@lyondhur New Zealand will be by this weekend. And I completely understand - don't mention it!
