Kochi: Dextra, Kerala-based Mobile products development company, today launched 'Friday', a life search application, claiming to be the first of its kind in the world.
Named after Daniel Defoe's famous character 'friday' in the novel 'Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe', the
application helps users remember their lives, automates the process of building a self-database by creating a semantic map
of activities that the users do on their phone and also identifying the places they visit. This enables users to travel back in time and pinpoint the info they need.
The database building process happens real-time and requires almost zero user input. Users can always enhance the
map with extra info. To retrieve information from Friday users have to just ask a question via Voice or Text in plain
English.
'Friday' integrates itself with the Android OS (Operating System) on a very deep and intricate level to derive the
content created by the user. Dexetra has also deployed its proprietary algorithms to understand and store the content in
such a way that it becomes easier for the Application to fetch the information as and when it is required, Narayan Babu, CEO,
of the 11 month old company said.
Besides, the company has also incorporated a smart search algorithm to deliver the user with apt results instantaneously
from the semantically mapped database. A lot of research has gone into ensuring that the App (Application) understands
English language questions.
'Today, we use Smart phones for communication, entertainment, socializing, playing games, capturing moments and a lot more. With Friday, we unveil a new dimension, Self Discovery. It captures every moment of your life and answers
questions about you, provides you a wide array of analytics and maintains a journal. Since the smart phone penetration is
growing globally, Friday can definitely play a key role in every smart phone users' life,' Babu said.
The current version of 'Friday' supports English language and there are plans to extend to more languages. Apart from
this, the company is also exploring more ways to create and consume content.
Dexetra was founded in April last year by a group of seven young entrepreneurs and is based out of Kochi. It specializes
in iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry Windows Mobile and Symbian application development and mobility in general. The
company aims to become the world's leading mobility company. pti
