@imranghory Similar concept. Instead of being a "wake up call", I view it more as a productivity tool. It's someone to hold you accountable for your to-do list. Most of my friends using it right now don't even have their Morning Person wake them up. I use it as a way to visualize my day and verbalize my goals.
As someone who worked on a similar service called DitchThePillow back in university (unsuccessfully, unfortunately), I am glad to see you are solving this problem and doing it in a very fun way. How are you keeping your Morning People accountable to make wake up calls on time? What is your incentive system?
@darynakulya The Morning People are hired to make the calls. The user management system that reminds them of their calls and displays the user's to-dos and calendar is currently in development.
@samuelbeek it actually is the same person that calls you every day. That way you can create a personal relationship with them---they know how you handle your schedule and what other information you like to hear (weather, news, etc.)
For all of us that struggle getting out of bed sometimes... Why not have a person calling you every morning, reminding you of everything you need to do (calendar & tasks) and holding you accountable?
I think @DAVFRY is one of the founders, maybe he could answer some questions?
I don't like it that the person that wakes me is a different one each day. It doesn't seem very personal. I'd say that's no different from things like IFTTT (this recipe f.e; https://ifttt.com/recipes/3788-a...).
Why is your service better? I think you should ad a (paid) option to have the same person call you (or one of two) every day.
Here's what I've wanted to do: AlarmRabbit. If you don't prove that you're out of bed and awake, a TaskRabbit is dispatched to your house to ring your doorbell and yell at you through your windows with a bullhorn. I think this would work.

I gotta say, I'm a fan of Wakie and the main reason is the randomness of it. Most people are very friendly, I usually sing a song. Terribly. In fact they hang up instantly. It's just a fun way to wake up!
