Artificial Intelligence That Makes Your Smartphone Smarter (Unabridged‪)‬

Despite their ubiquity, smartphones are still not very helpful at getting you information based on what you're already doing. For instance, if you get an e-mail from a friend asking if you want to check out a new restaurant in town, you have to leave the app behind and go conduct a Web search to learn more. An early stage startup called Weave.ai is trying to make this less of a chore by building technology that brings up information that takes into consideration what you're already doing on your handset. The London-based company has built a demo of its technology that gives a sense of what it's building by analyzing the content of tweets and bringing up related information in other apps on the phone (although since it's still its own separate app, it's not yet integrated within other apps for easy access).
