Luka

Luka started as a mobile app using AI that recommends places to eat. This week we're launching Luka as a phone number +1 (704) 448-5852 that you can text anytime and find and book any table in SF and South Bay Area, including the ones that are impossible to get on OpenTable or other services. Luka also analyses your previous conversations, predicts what you might like and gets you tables (even at hard to get restaurants like State Bird Provisions, Rich Table, Cotogna etc). We want to build a service that will be available across all platforms - as a standalone app, in any messenger or simply by text messaging. We're building AI that you can use right now. Would love your feedback and happy to answer any questions :)

Any different than the previously posted Luka - http://www.producthunt.com/posts... ?

Been using Luka for the past several weeks and has been an awesome experience. Props to Eugenia and the team for moving fast and building something genuinely useful + delightful.

Not trying to sell my product, but what will you do when you get to large scale (if not there already) and carriers start blocking your text messages since you're using a long code and apparently only one phone number? (10 digit number) Clarification: carriers block outbound text messages from numbers sending too many text messages per day.

How does Luka work in the back end? Is that fully automated / based on an API?

Cool interaction, @ekuyda, even without the app. Are the restaurant content/dish recommendations Luka generated or sourced from yelp/Zagat/other? And what are hurdles to expanding in more cities in short order? Congrats, too!
