Luka’s conversational technology can be applied to other verticals (restaurants are the first step). Consumer AI will be huge, and chat as a UX is intuitive. Luka is the first startup that is building practical consumer AI based on a chat interface now. We're waiting for an update to be approved by the AppStore this week - Luka will get rid of Facebook autho… See more

@ekuyda Any plans for an Android version?

@rrhoover @ekuyda Thanks for the reply! Coffee -> Cafe was actually a voice-to-text error I didn't catch until I took the Yelp screenshot above.
