How do you ask wonder to remember a list of things? I tried it just now but it missed the first item. And is there a way to update that listing to remember as well?

@bryansarnold Sure, we will be rolling out the web version in a weeks time. You will be able to edit there :)
@bryansarnold We don't currently support a list of things, simply key:value, like "x is y". Updating is coming via a web dashboard soon.
The simplicity here is wonderful. If it works as well as the examples on the homepage then I think you're onto something.
I know I often find myself struggling to remember things these days, and with Google having replaced a large percentage of our memory needs, I imagine others are the same. So for me, this product clearly has a good use case and seems like a super slick experience, but I'd still rather invest in my memory again, otherwise I fear what it'll be like by the time I'm 70!
Great work with this @jsngr @shivkanthb 🙌
@fredrivett @jsngr @shivkanthb
Just 'remembered 😏', nah, thought of a great use case for this!
When going to catch the train, what do I need to remember? Ticket, Railcard, Keys, Wallet (etc)
Command: Train Journey
Response: Don't forget your ticket, railcard, keys and wallet
Next level could link physical e.g. 'just tracked that you left your keys in the fridge again'.
@bentossell @jsngr @shivkanthb Yeah auto setup quick commands like that that know what you'll need to take with you would be cool. If you could then customise them like 'flights' returns medical details and any other custom bits. I could see the benefit here.
Love the concept. Very Black Mirror. 😁
Although accessing these notes isn't super easy with existing interfaces. Something like this will be especially useful in an AR + voice-based future.
@rrhoover Thanks Ryan! An invisible app was the perfect interface to remember and query things via natural language, but we're working on a web dashboard where you can update your past memories.
This is a really nice idea! Agreed with everyone else that a messenger bot would be good 👍
I've only told Wonder what my favourite bot is, but every time I ask it any other question, it responds with my phone number? I feel like it should send a "sorry I don't know this information yet" message
Very nice one and impressed with the AI. It would be better if you have a fb messenger bot. And can you give the entire tech stack used to built the bot.
@srebalaji Glad you liked it! Wonder is built on Ruby on Rails, uses Twilio for text messaging, Wit.ai for natural language processing, and a handful of other algorithms like Jaro-Winkler distance and overlap coefficient to determine string similarity to find the best key-value match.
I signed up for this, it asked for my phone number and within 3 hours I got a text with a link saying "What she wanted to tell you but couldn't." With a link to a Viagra ad. I'm pretty sure they're selling our info...
@melissamonteee Can you be certain it wasn't a coincidence? Are you getting the spam from the same phone number as the Wonder service? I get spam all the time, hard to say from which app.
@melissamonteee This was certainly not from us. Can you confirm this was from our phone number? Please email singer.jordan@gmail.com
@realpb @melissamonteee There is no way the message is from us. We don't sell our users information.
Wonder is a key-value store for your life. It's a simple way to remember the things you know you'll forget via text message. It uses natural language processing to both remember things and ask it things you've told it.
I've found myself using Wonder quite often recently as I've been testing it. A good example is that I was moving recently, and forgot the gate code to the storage facility I had some furniture in. I stored the code in Wonder like so for future reference: "My gate code to Self Access Storage is abc123". Next time that I need to recall the gate code, I can just ask "What's the gate code for storage?"
This reminds me a lot of Brett Terpstra's Quick Question http://brettterpstra.com/project...
This looks cool. I have notoriously bad memory and forget things constantly, but they're in general things I need to bring somewhere or things I need to do. Having push notifications with apps like Wunderlist & Evernote are great in grabbing your attention. I guess this, however, is for the use case of needing to essentially write something down and then be able to access it anywhere, right? I love the frictionless approach to save and retrieve info, but I'm not sure if this champions storing info in Evernote, quickly tagging it, then searching for it with keywords. I'm sure once you start tacking on smart features, it'll be an easy swtich over
This is very cool. Any plans to integrate into other messenger services (rather than text)? Unfortunately it's expensive to text the US from the UK (on my mobile plan anyway!)
Brilliant. Also how to change the answer for the same question? Let say change the for password. I tried but the answer comes old one.
@iva_shaishmelashvili We're adding a web dashboard soon so that you can update your key-value pairs. The text message interface will be simply for remembering and querying.

Hey there, I was just wondering if this works in France ? I tried using a french phone number with country code, so the format is like this +33000000000 but i didn't get a message back !
@val_pinkman it worked for me in the UK, so i am guessing it should work for you in FR. I also put the dial code in the number +44 :)
@jsngr alright so I did get a message back, however, the number used seems to be used by something else, and when I ask text it to remember somehting, I think it's the other service that gets the message and thus wonder is not working. I wouldn't mind talking to you about it if you ever have time :)
My mom says "Thank you thank you thank you!" She can never remember how to use apps, so trying to learn an app to remember things is kind of a lost cause for her. But she can text!
This is awesome! Looking to see how complex some of these queries and submissions can get. Love the simplicity.
@jenleeny Thanks! Search is simply "What is x?" for now, we might think about categorization later, but we don't have that currently.
This looks ace! Small bit of feedback... It's not clear from the website what platform this is going to use. Some mention of SMS would be good.
I want to like this but I can't get it to work properly. Whenever I write "Remember that Happy Hour at Blue Daisy is everyday from 4pm to 7pm" and then ask "happy hour at blue daisy" is just writes "4"... not exactly as helpful as I imagined...
