Calvin is a native mobile app for planning with small groups. Utilizing the personal information available on mobile devices, Calvin’s artificial intelligence suggests who to see, where to go, and when to do it. Calvin is riding a wave of smart service apps that give time back to busy young professionals.
Calvin needed a user experience and interface design that would strike a chord with early adopters. To get the people who initiate plans the most using the app, our challenge was to design a frictionless experience that provides enough value to lure planners away from email and text message planning.
Planners hack existing tools to fit their planning needs. Using Calvin’s cutting edge machine learning technologies, we designed features into the Calvin app that fit these specific planning needs. From saving ideas for later to suggesting the best scheduling options, Calvin turns RSVPs from maybe to yes.
With an innovative approach to the application of machine learning technology, Calvin has been featured in multiple publications and at conferences including the Twitter Developers conference. Calvin has also joined the ranks of the standard technology arsenal of productivity experts.
