Brainstorming Software

Meet Eliza.

Isn't she helpful. And kinda annoying?

Originally built to pass the Turing Test, Eliza is suggestive of an untapped opportunity - one-person brainstorming.

This may sound a bit onanistic - but think about it. You want someone to bounce ideas off but everyone else is off playing Doom. What do you do? Well, you probably want something like Eliza - but with an added randomizer - e.g.

"So what do I do about the limited bandwidth of the application?"
"Do you like pickled mangoes?"

Or something...
