Hey Al, The service looks very cool. I guess the problem that I have is figuring out a real world use for it...
Obviously I wouldn't expect you to do my thinking for me :) But what would be REALLY useful is if you could post up a few fictitious (or even real life) use cases, perhaps on the site, to showcase the potential of the platform (similar to the ones in here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BulletProofX). The format doesn't really matter, but example scenarios are what really get people excited about this kind of technology... Personally, I've found example use cases very useful when determining where a technology might be of use to me. Just an idea anyway. With regard to the intents survey: I always prefer if intents are provided, if for no other reason than they help make the intent framework more powerful. At present I personally have no immediate requirement for an intent API though.
