Congrats! Both UX and parsing tech look great. One key challenge comes to mind - this app requires high up-front investment (giving away privacy/time to link your numerous accounts) but the value is really in the long term. It's hard for us humans to drive action *right now* to prevent a future hypothetical risk. Would I like to have all my docs neatly organized on my phone? Sure. Do I really need to do this now vs chatting on ProductHunt? Not really. I wonder how you guys think about this intention->action gap. Do you see ways to provide immediate incentive and immediate gratification upon signing up?

Thanks for your kind words and thoughtful feedback, @raphaelouzan. You definitely touch on a major challenge we face – I like to see more users move from the “I want it” mindset to “I need it.” The "up-front investment" you referred, in my eyes, is actually a rather small one (1-click authorization). Alternatively, what it takes to stay on top of your essential documents requires a lot more time and effort. In fact, users choose to connect to cloud services, even though it’s optional (users can always add docs manually). Docady is not just a smart secure storage place for your most important things – it also works for you: notifying you when things need your attention, giving a family management perspective and more. We are aware that the value for users increases over time as they add more documents, but we are also seeing many use-cases in which the value is established from accessing even one document in a critical moment (often leading them to add more documents).

@nadav_na I understand your point although the problem is bigger than must-have/nice-to-have. It is that it's a nice-to-have *sometime in the future* vs a must have now. Since currently the key value is experienced sometime in the future ("accessing even one document in a critical moment"), maybe it would worth thinking of immediate value that can result from you parsing/organizing/comparing the doc with your data right after I upon it. The long term potential value is there but I sign up for something I want *right now*. For example: compare my rental deal terms with other users from my neighborhood, things like that.

@raphaelouzan I'd like to point out that probably every backup service has the same problem. I wonder how they overcome it in that market.

@yoavanaki Yes and that's why they do not measure engagement as the top metric, rather align their business model to passive usage growth, such as storage.

Big fan of this concept - I definitely call into the "I need this" category for important paperwork and have had pretty much all the close calls you described. But they are pretty few and far between. @nadav_na in the long term do you envision more frequent or even daily uses cases for phone document search or is the app more for the occasional but high impact essential document needs?

Great question @spressto, thank you! Docady already supports documents for daily need. It’s a matter of habit. Everyday I launch Docady while I grab lunch outside. I may need my credit card, a cafe loyalty card, or simply an ID…it’s all there. With that said, we are looking to our users’ behavior, and their “Docady moments,” to grow the product towards more frequent usage.

Hey there! My name is Nadav and I am the CEO & co-founder of Docady. We are excited to launch Docady on Product Hunt and welcome your feedback. Docady discovers, organizes, and manages users’ most important documents. Docady captures essential document details, transforms them into actionable items, while enabling seamless/customized sharing. This way, users are ultimately prepared. Have you ever had a close call with an expiring car insurance or even a passport? Have you ever needed to show your ID but forgot your wallet? And perhaps only your spouse knows where that one document might be? We can’t avoid unexpected moments, but with Docady, we can dodge potential frustration. We call these “Docady Moments” – when you find yourself unprepared for a bureaucratic scenario, and our app is the hero. Current key features: - Discovery engine that locates and acquires essential documents from external services (Dropbox, Evernote, Gmail etc.) - Manual upload of documents via phone camera and direct access to external services (Dropbox, Evernote, Gmail etc.) - Family setup for sharing and managing mutual documents - Automated extraction of key data fields - System alerts and notifications of expirations And much more… Docady embodies emerging technologies and user-friendly applications that are intuitive, valuable, and, above all secure. Security is comprised from the highest standards - military, government and bank grade standards. It’s simply core to our corporate culture. Currently we have an iOS version available on the app-store. An Android version is in the works. Would love to hear your feedback!

Hey @nadav_na this looks really great! I do like the design and on-boarding process and can truly relate to the need behind the product. But I must ask how do you defer from services like Dropbox/Evernote? I see you integrate with them but what is your unique edge?

Hey @uriezra, thanks for the question. I’m happy to address this. Docady is a tailor-made solution for your most vital documents, Other cloud service (Dropbox/Evernote etc) are a storage service for everything else. Docady has great sharing and management features, advanced technologies for handling/engaging those documents on a content level (i.e. expiration alerts)...just to name a few.

@nadav_na Love the idea. I traveled in some remote locations for a few months last year and ended up creating my own hacky version of this. So having an app would be great - Visas, Passport, Vaccinations, Yellow Card, Credit Card Info. All totally makes sense. But how do you manage big documents? Hundreds of pages of life insurance documents or those delightful pages and pages that are part of a mortgage.

@corleyh - thanks so much for the love, it's heart warming :) We do manage big documents. Users use Docady for long contracts and tedious mortgage documents... Users can also email/print any of these large files, and extract those key doc details in default fields or customized fields.

@nadav_na: Here's a question: how did you come up with the name, Docady?! I've been raking my cranium to figure out the origin!

:-) Thank you @steven_rushing for the great question. The name originates from Doc-Caddy. To us, Docady is that special "golf caddy" that is not only carrying your most important documents, it's also your trusted partner, assistant, strategic advisor, and coach. But then it felt there are too many C's and D's, so we merged the two words and ended up with Docady. In a few years it will be a good story, no?

I really liked the idea. The UX is nice and the video is really to the point. As a user I have 2 concerns: 1. Why should I give access to my Dropbox to a company I don't know. What about my privacy? 2. Why should I make this initial time investment if I don't know for sure this company will stay with us in the long run? I wonder how you address these issues and what are your thoughts.

Hey @tomer_saar, We are happy to hear you like Docady. Thanks for your feedback, and we're happy to address your important questions about Docady. 1. Though Docady is a new company, it's well-funded, immensely well received by our growing user-base, and we feel like we're just scratching the service. There's a tremendous up-front value from providing Docady access to your services. It enables the product's advance technology to do all the work. It locates essential documents like "a needle in the haystack," extracts key details, organizes, consolidates, and manages them. Users' privacy is core to our daily work and strategic planning. There's simply nothing more important from the stand point of Docady's culture and product. I encourage to read more about our privacy policy here: http://www.docady.com/legal/pp 2. Again, we're here to stay, and the up-front investment is actually quite small (1-click authorization to cloud services). Of course users have the option to upload documents manually, or again, resort to our technology for the heavy lifting. I invite you to download Docady to get a feel for the on-boarding and product, and become ultimately prepared for life's unexpected moments.
