London-based start-up Unloop plans to introduce an app with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, known as Aimy.
The company says Aimy is designed to function more as a "well-connected intelligent assistant" rather than just a personal assistant. Explaining the functionality of Aimy, the company says it is developed to gather information about the user, then create a personality profile using the users' responses and commands to recommend experiences, activities and connections.
"Patent-pending algorithms and machine learning also mean that suggestions would be enhanced over time," the company adds.
CEO and founder Noach Ben-Haim states the main inspiration behind the innovation was to inspire people to move out of their comfort zones and help individuals make meaningful connections with new people, at new places or try new activities.
"Nowadays people are stuck in a rut, nine to five jobs, doing the same things. I believe Unloop will change lifestyles and show users the best the world has to offer - whether at home or travelling, he says.
"Until now, one would be forced to revert to conventional, impersonal Web sites, magazines and apps that are at their core, little more than mega-sized lists that overwhelm users with choices. After almost a year of development, we believe we've finally came up with a better alternative in Aimy.
"At the moment it is only available in London while we trial its AI's capabilities."
However, the company plans to expand to global markets and is looking at global hotspots in US, UAE, and SA, says Ben-Haim.
The app is available on Apple's App Store and Unloop is working to bring it to Google Play.
