Telephony Ideas
After the wonderful startup weekend conducted in Delhi, the scene now shifts to Bangalore. I actually wanted to do this blog before the Delhi event, but I got a little busy and could not do it. So here we go.
In this blog post I will try to mention as many ideas as possible which can built using the KooKoo platform. So, in no particular order, the ideas:
In this blog post I will try to mention as many ideas as possible which can built using the KooKoo platform. So, in no particular order, the ideas:
- Appointment reminder service. Call attendees and remind them. This could be useful for event management websites etc
- Group voice messaging. Create groups on the website. Call a number and record your message, choose the group.The people in the group will be called and the message will be played back.This could be useful for managers to send a message to the team or CEOs to send a message to the employees etc.
- On the fly conferencing solutions
- Birthday reminder. Store all your friend's birthdays. When the birthday comes, you will get a call first and KooKoo will inform you whose birthday it is and then it will call your friend so that you can wish him/her. Never forget a birthday. Can be applied for other occasions.
- Anonymous chat in Matrimonial sites. The prospective groom and bride are connected without exposing their phone numbers to discuss
- Allow restaurants to create a IVR for reserving a seat, find out about the latest menu etc. Restaurants can just sign up, create their profile and they will be assigned a number. When people call the number the profile will be played out.
- Voice reminders
- Phone idol: Anyone can call and sing a song. The best songs can be voted and the Idol can be chosen.
- Voice blogs
- Connecting experts and users over voice. I think this is being done by voicetap.But some variation of the idea can be done by KooKoo
- Voice greetings.
- Build real time user reported news service. People can call and record a news item. the news items will be voted up or down in a reddit fashion.
- Diet tracker: Setup a diet plan. KooKoo will call everyday and ask you to enter your weight. Track your progress. This can be made more fun.
- Audio guides for tourist
- Phone based customer support framework.
These are just some ideas which could be experimented with. I will update this post with more ideas soon. And remember, ideas can only do so much. Its all about execution. All the best.
