The website and the description are pretty vague in my opinion. I understand what this product is supposed to do but I don't really understand how it does it. And by that I don't mean I don't understand logic in the code, I mean there are some serious omissions here, for example: - what sources can it draw from (only twitter is mentioned)? - how does it work if the person you want to analyze does not use social media/you haven't exchanged any text with them? - what does an analysis to look like/in what format is it served? Can you provide us with with part of an analysis of an imaginary person or something to get an idea of what we're getting? Also, I noticed that the reviews in the play store are quite negative so I'm not sure if I'm going to try it out.

@anna_0x Hello Anna, Thank you for looking into us - and feedback. I try to address stated concerns briefly here and I will expand on some of the themes later, which require more profound answers. - The website and the description are pretty vague in my opinion. I understand what this product is supposed to do but I don't really understand how it does it. We are about to start working on an animated video, which walks through the service as a first-person experience. We have had our work cut out for us trying get the app right, so it is a matter of priorities and resources at this point. - And by that I don't mean I don't understand logic in the code, I mean there are some serious omissions here, for example: Yes, we tried to communicate the big picture. However, we probably failed to bring forth all relevant information for the more tech savvy people. - what sources can it draw from (only twitter is mentioned)? Twitter it is. Names work instantly and, for example, blogs can be used for free text section (LinkedIn) FB is out of bounds / closed. We give 5 credits for free. - how does it work if the person you want to analyze does not use social media/you haven't exchanged any text with them? You can use sliders – for eternally free! That is, you can analyze behavior / behavioral cues. In case you have never met and the person in question is not active in (Twitter, blogs…), just go out and be yourself, with an open mind. Moreover, there are plenty of pointers – based on your own social gravitations – to take cue from. - what does an analysis to look like/in what format is it served? We use social styles as a framework, or theory of social interaction – a loved child has many names… It goes back approximately half a century. It is an oversimplification, naturally, but we find it very useful due to Universal nature of it. One profile is not better or worse than another one; There are pros and cons embedded in all variations. - Can you provide us with witch part of an analysis of an imaginary person or something to get an idea of what we're getting? Indeed, a first-person video would address this nicely. (Screen shots could help perhaps too.) We are about to start making a walk-through video, which follows narrative format, which we have found to be rather common is US (at least few years ago). Namely, introducing an imaginary character and have her / him do something old way, which is problematic, only to pick up the product and adopting a new way. You can always just get Keigo and just randomly take the visual assessment and bounce around. We hope that you would give it a shot. - Also, I noticed that the reviews in the play store are quite negative so I'm not sure if I'm going to try it out. Unfortunately, we have had the Android version crash a couple of times at the beginning. Now fixed. Valid points raised, thank you. On the whole, we are trying to bring applied psychology to everyone. For the most part, for free. However, all this talk of AI / tech tends to move the focus away from the main point. Life is short and we want to make the most out of it. We hope that we can help to improve our users lives and we hope that they use Keigo for good. Sometimes small – or even mundane – ideas can have a huge impact. It is often a question of when and how those ideas are delivered and grasped. Nuance matters. That is what we try to achieve with Keigo. In order words, Keigo is all about mutual understanding, user empowerment and self-reflection. At the end of the day, the answers are not in Keigo. The answers are in you. In art and labor, Manne & Keigo team Ps. Further information is available – naturally – upon request. More info here too: https://twitter.com/keigoapp

@manne_pyykko thanks for your time and detailed response. Yes, a video a video would be much appreciated and would most likely clear up all the confusion!

@sharonmathews22 Dear Sharon, Thank you very much indeed! This just the beginning! Our Keigo team has it all. We have neurotic psychologists, bad-ass coders and functional managers. Our IPRs go back decades.

The introvert in me needed this for a while, worth playing around with!

Pros:

Nice Twitter integration for fast analysis

Cons:

Would like to analyze my Linkedin contacts also.

Hello Chris, Thank you! Indeed, Linkedin ja FB would be great! Sincerely, Keigo team

Keigo – Mutual Understanding Assisted by AI   Keigo is here to help you to be the best version of yourself. In case you have an important interview, a first date or a social event. Imagine what your life will be like when you connect just a little better with the people you meet?   Keigo brings applied psychological insights for everyone. It combines social styles, personal advice, other peoples´ perceptions and artificial intelligence – and provides an easy user experience.

There are a couple of things I´d like to bring up at this point. Keigo is a powerful tool. Use it for good. No matter how cheesy it may sound, we do want to see our users flourish, while making the World a better place. Having an open mind and committing to continuous improvement are cornerstones of Keigo. “Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.” However, this is problematic, when dealing with individual differences and preferences. Following the Golden Rule can, in fact, lead to an undesired outcome, friction or even strife– despite best of intentions of both parties. The Golder Rule is a principle. A great principle. But still only a principle. Situational flexibility and taking one´s cue from conversation partner is all about nuance. Nuance matters. A lot. Keigo is here to help you all the way. Keigo is your mentor in the moment. This is how it goes. Receiving cross-evaluations is often insightful. It can even lead to epiphany. Understanding oneself is the beginning point and there is plenty to master in that domain. Analysis of one´s counterparts comes after that. You can use sliders or AI. Keigo Twitter analysis (AI) is based on open information and the results are kept for 60 days. In other words, should someone leave Twitter, analysis based on their Tweets would not remain for more than 60 days. The same goes for all results for that matter. Be yourself. That what Keigo usually suggests, but occasionally – especially when faced with a completely opposite type – it is worthwhile to pull back some of the more pronounced individual characteristics.

How does this work in the context of dating?
manne pyykkö
@tiina_tuomi Hello Tiina, I am happily married, so I do not have the first-hand experience or real life war-stories to share...;) Nevertheless, here´s a stab in the dark. You can start simulating your counterparts with sliders – hot dates, new casual acquaintances or past flings – and get personal tips for hitting it off properly. It is situational flexibility and interpersonal influence just-on-demand. Know that special someone´s Twitter name?  It gets better. Punch in that handle, let artificial intelligence read through all tweets and re-tweets in 2 seconds and you will get a personality profile of that special someone, based on his/her Twitter history. It´s all preps in one place – in your pocket. Even with your personal “Cyrano de Bergerac” you still have to do your own stunts when meeting face-to-face.  Also remember: “Can´t buy me love”, they say, and it is probably true...

I spent the weekend analyzing myself, friends and colleagues. It’s super fascinating seeing how you compare to others.

Pros:

I feel like I know myself more after using the app

Cons:

Can’t think of anything at the moment

Hello Tiina, Thank you! We want to bring applied psychology to everyone in an accessible and contemporary manner. In art and labor, Keigo team
Sebastian Koreneff

I have used it for work before meeting a new person

Pros:

Great for understanding others

Cons:

So far none

manne pyykkö
Hi Sebastian, Thank you! Yes, Keigo is all about understanding others – but it all starts with understanding of oneself first. There are many layers and dimensions involved in these matters, but this old wisdom catches various aspects of it rather nicely. Understanding others is knowledge, Understanding oneself is enlightenment; Conquering others is power, Conquering oneself is strength. - Tao Te Ching
Joose Vettenranta
Interesting product. Any advice on how to make the most out of Keigo?
manne pyykkö
@joose Thank you for your interest – I hope these ideas are helpful. 5 ways to go Keigo – for free!   1. Take the visual assessment! Sprain your brain by putting pictures in order that describe you best.   2. Keigo your favorite celebrity! Imagine you are about to meet that special someone on a date or for biz.    3. Ask for 360-degree cross-evaluations! How do others see you? There is only one way to find out. Fire out many requests!    4. Analyze your last meaningful meeting! Go over your last meeting with a friend or associate: Use AI for Twitter active, use sliders for others.   5. Pick your favorite tips! Start gathering worthwhile psychological insights. Ideas you want to remember and take up.
Juho Wallenius

Just analysing yourself and creating your own profile is very interesting. I showed Keigo to a few colleagues and they all thought that already was very useful. Starting to analyse and match yourself with others is then the next level.

Pros:

Brings professional psychometrics to everyones finger tips with a clean, simple and easy to use UX.

Cons:

I am a LinkedIn heavy user and would love to get that data source available as soon as possible.

manne pyykkö
Hello Juho, Thank you for your review! This is how you can go Keigo on your Linkedin contacts. See if the up and coming conversation partner has written any blogs or articles. Then copy all of the texts into “AI” => “AI analysis by free text” – and you are good to go.
Anssi Saxelin
Interesting app! A fresh approach to apply visual keys in the social style inventory. Is there a specific reason for using that kind of solution?
manne pyykkö
@anssi_saxelin Hello Anssi, Thank you! That´s right! Visual assessment is new and unique. Although there are visual personality assessment methods and tests out there, all of those are limited to self-evaluation, whereas Keigo visual test measures social styles, combining both self-rate and cross-evaluations. “Person and box” theme translates directly into both utilization purposes. In other words, it is a combination of both, how you see yourself and, how others see you. Frankly: You can crowdsource other peoples´ perception of you. One profile is not better or worse than another one – no damage done, when giving / receiving evaluations. Moreover, why not run your own digital footprint on the top of everything... Once you have established your own profile it is time to start analyzing your conversation partners. It takes two to Tango!
Minna Niinimäki
Cool! Could you tell me more about work related use cases?
manne pyykkö
@minna_niinimaki Dear Minna, Thank you for your interest! Sure, there are plenty of work-related use cases: Prepping for an important meeting is an obvious one. Go with Twitter analysis or use sliders. Understanding of one´s strength and development areas is always important – especially when applying for a job. Feel free to send your profile, including cross-evaluations. “I do my own stunts.” Team building is another one. These days there are so many virtual teams. Trello, Slack, Zoom and so on, this is how we work. So, go Keigo and hit the ground running. Content creation. There are plenty of people, who rely on subscribers, likes and shares… Keigo can help in many ways as it provides personal insights and food for thought. Then there is just pure self-improvement. That is the biggest idea of them all. That one small feather can break a camel´s back – and one simple idea, that really sinks in, can change the trajectory of one´s life. Yours, Manne

Love the product! How did you land on using IBM Watson? How would it compare to GoogleDeepmind?
manne pyykkö
@jake_paul Hi Chris, Cheers! Thank you! Here is a quick answer to a profound question. We knew that IBM Watson was the most established AI engine out there, but we will be looking to road test it against Google Deepmind. Essentially, we are looking for two things in a potential AI partner, speed and accuracy. So far Watson delivers on both fronts!
Joni Karsikko
Cool app! I was wondering, how many cross-evaluation requests should I send?
manne pyykkö
@joni_karsikko Hello Joni! The more the merrier! Ask for cross-evaluations from different kinds of people. For instance: workmates, friends and family... As long as they know you well, it is all good.
