Wikipedia is one of the one of the most used sites on the Internet.  A major part of how that reality came to be is how easy it is to keep information up to date on the site.  The “wiki” format of the website allows all users to edit and review information.  This fact means that people can constantly update and double-check all articles on the site.  While this format has proven to be incredibly useful for Wikipedia’s encyclopedic purposes, a cool product called BrainKeeper wants to apply it to another purpose.  BrainKeeper provides businesses with internal wiki sites where they can store all corporate information.  Employees can then edit the company’s internal wiki powered by BrainKeeper every time a policy change happens or anything of significant importance occurs.  Office tech support assistance will be necessary for any less technically inclined employees who have trouble updating information through BrainKeeper’s system.

Keeping track of your life, remembering every detail and keeping your calendar updated can be a seriously tedious task.  This is so much the case that those who can afford it often hire personal assistants to handle the job for them.  Unfortunately, many people do not have the means to outsource their life upkeep.  That’s why the people who work on cool product Gini believe they can reach an untapped market.  Gini is software that utilizes AI technology to sort a person’s life automatically based on their documents.  Whenever someone gets a new batch of paperwork, whether physically or digitally, they can input it into Gini and the software will recognize the important pieces of text in the document—dates, names, and addresses.  The software will then automatically sort this information into a digital calendar and address book.  Users then get alerts, reminders and updates about events, appointments, and bills so they never have to worry about keeping track of this information manually.  Gini lets users upload documents of multiple different file types.  However, that does mean users have to scan physical documents to make digital copies that are uploadable to the software.   If you have difficulty with your scanner, you will need computer tech support available to take full advantage of Gini.
