Students at Bauman Moscow State Technical University (MSTU) are developing an app that will remind people what to do or buy, not only by time, but also by one’s location. This was reported to Gazeta.ru in the press service of ANO NTI Platforms, which is engaged in the creation and development of technology enterprises with the support of the Russian government.
“We are creating a service that expands the capabilities of voice assistants. It will be able to remind the user of necessary actions when its geographical location matches the predetermined one. For example, the service can be given a task (preferably aloud) “remind me to call my parents when I’m home,” said Alexander Chefranov, a fourth-year information security program leader, the leader of the startup project team. .
The developers note that now there is a high need to remember one thing not only on time, but also on the spot: buy food in the store, get documents in the office. At the same time, there are no services that can combine these two factors.
“The uniqueness of the solution is that it combines the functions of a map (Yandex.Maps, Google Maps, 2GIS), voice assistant (Alisa, Marusya and more), as well as special applications such as reminders and calendar. Unlike similar solutions, it has wider functionality, an intuitive interface and it takes no more than a minute to set a task for the application,” added project participant Anastasia Kurkova, a fourth-year student of the Applied Informatics direction.
At this time, the team has already completed building a business model, researched the target market, and started building a prototype. It is expected to be ready for testing in 2024.
