If the skills of Apples virtual assistant Siri arent enough for you, San Francisco based firm Greplin offers an alternative - the Cue app. Whats special and different about Cue? Unlike Siri, its focused on information and provides its users with unique and smart ways of handling it.
The average person receives an astounding amount of virtual information every day. It might come to you via email, tweets, Facebook and millions of other ways. Cue helps you make sense of this mess.
Originally, the software was called Greplin and it was used as a tool to arrange and process personal information within a calendar. The company soon realized, though, that it could do so much more with the app. So it upgraded to Cue. Now, the application merges all your information into a flowing stream. For example, if you set up an event on your calendar, you will be able to see what are the people who are attending the meeting, their emails and other private information that are added from your address book.
Cue integrates popular social services like Facebook and Linkedin to create your everyday painting. You can instruct Cue to make, cancel or change different reservations, check for flight or text your friends. However these are options that come with a free account. For more goodies, users will have to upgrade to a Premium account that comes at $4.99/month or $49.99/year.
The Premium status will add Evernote, Basecamp, Yammer, Highrise, Google Reader, Reddit, Delicious and Salesforce integration. The Free plan provides however, a good opportunity to check out Cues services and decide if you want more.
