How long have you been working on this app?

7+ years.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

It was sometime in early 2014 while I was sitting at the dinner table with a few friends and family. The dishes had been cleared and we were all discussing the latest in news and pop culture. It was then that I realized that everyone had their phones sitting in front of them on the table. With the latest advancements in speech recognition and image search technologies I asked myself “Why can’t we be seeing images on our phones that reflect what we’re talking about?”. And so it began.
