Why bother filling up precious space in your brain with phone numbers, email addresses, chat names, etc.?    Suggested by Matt E.

Use communication history to present a short list of recent threads when the call comes in. You care as much or more about the subject or purpose of the person calling you, as who the caller is.    Suggested by Matt E.

Having a superior memory from monitoring multiple communication modalities. Able to track and recall conversations across time, modes, and people.    Suggested by Matt E.

Concept is that people cannot allocate their attention and get distracted by interruptions. We help you allocate your attention by focusing you on what's important.    Suggested by Andrew

People dont want all the details - just the summarized view that they really need - from one source - a source that did the hard work for them and provided the summarized result    Suggested by Peter

require unauthorized people to do extra work to reach you    Suggested by Jim H.

create alternate egos that are largely managed by the virtual asst and allow you to have a different relationship (more/less repectful/responsive) with different people. much of this could even happen without your involvement    Suggested by Jim H.

can the service inflict "pain" or cost to those that clutter up a users inbox with spam or unwanted solicitations.    Suggested by Jim H.

similar to what's gone before, but simpler    Suggested by Charlotte    Suggested by Andrew

service that eliminates all the filler words in a conversation or email to make it easier & faster to consume.    Suggested by Jim H.

whiney overwelmed people can have their asst be a domineering service that tells them what to do and where to go. some people like to be bossed around!    Suggested by Jim H.

service will automatically conduct google searches on relevant words from speech & text to provide user with "everything" they'd ever want to know about an appt or email. this might actually increase info overload!    Suggested by Jim H.

Just a thought - a main feature is voice control and recognition    Suggested by Martin

If we need to latch onto a concept that is related to communications how about the most core one "Tele" which has been used over the years. Here are a few ideas: Tele-smarts Tele-mation Tele-sistant Tele-vant Tele-vation    Suggested by Andrew

I am easy to reach. I am organized, but juggle a million different things and often forget about a few of them.    Suggested by Oren

Absolutely, work with my phone. It is the one thing I take eerywhere    Suggested by Oren

Do not distract me with a million things. Make sure nothing falls through the cracks, but don't constantly remind me of things and get in the way of what I am doing.    Suggested by Oren

Speech is awkeward. I don't want to talk to a machine.    Suggested by Oren

I do certain things in certain ways (e.g. use outlook, blackberry, have a computer at home and work, like to talk to people on the phone, do not use social networking). It should work with my current lifestyle.    Suggested by Oren

same idea...again trying to instantly create an association    Suggested by Bettina

Again, the tagline instantly explains and gives people a category to think in. While all the of the virtual assistant services are great, it is too complex to explain the benefit in a tagline. I would not hesitate to associate yourself with the very concept you're trying to revolutionize or abolish.    Suggested by Bettina

The tagline should invoke something that people can instantly understand.    Suggested by Bettina

Route the important calls faster and easier, detour the ones that aren't as important.    Suggested by Derek

Little bit of geek appeal in there, and it speaks to the idea that the product gets your phone back under your control.    Suggested by Derek

Robo is the identity of the smart, online assistant. It's not a person, it's not a device, it's Robo the hip virtual assistant. Got Robo? Robo makes your life smarter. Got Robo? Robo makes it easy to reach you when you need to be reached. Got Robo? Robo helps you reach others. Got Robo? Robo helps manage your schedule and todo list. Got Robo? He gets important messages to you quickly.    Suggested by Lukman

act of filtering and organizing your inbox to get to actionable items    Suggested by Dana

too much inbound communication, get to the stuff that matters    Suggested by Dana

idea is that you've got communications overload, and that the service helps you streamline you communications with others    Suggested by Dana

or "Aspirin with those little pills."    Suggested by Andrew

Focused on being more accessible.    Suggested by Andrew

Play off the driving use-case.    Suggested by Andrew

or "584 emails in your inbox? We know why. Talk2Us." or "Ever forget to return a call or email? Talk2Us." or "Getting too many calls or emails? Talk2Us." or "Ever feel like you'll never dig out from under that pile of work? Talk2Us." or "Not getting to every call and email? Talk2Us." or "Missing important conversations? Talk2Us." or "Drinking from the firehose at work? Talk2Us."    Suggested by Andrew

or just "Upgrade your life. Talk2Us"    Suggested by Andrew

More tied to mobile    Suggested by Andrew

Name-riff    Suggested by Andrew

We have a good name that can be played off of like this.    Suggested by Andrew

(resubmitting) This emphasizes the annoyance-reduction benefit of the service. Of course there isn't really an "under control" setting for these things but that's what this new service is for.    Suggested by Will

If you have a subject line for your voice call, and you know what its about ahead of time, you can cut to the chase and be more productive    Suggested by Sanjay

Talk2Us fights loss of productivity from unscheduled interruptions and helps draw your roadmap for the day.    Suggested by Sanjay

Cuts distractions goes to relevance. Keeps you organized goes to handlng the mundate tasks like calendar entries and follow reminders    Suggested by Sanjay

(Sanjay's idea) Taking call screening to the next level so that you can have a bunch of context (location, company, comm history, what they are calling about, how important, relevancy, etc.) for your calls so that you can better judge how to handle them (and have more tools to handle them then simply take it or send to VM).    Suggested by Andrew

. The Talk2Us service acts as a virtual personal assistant (“VPA”) saving time and raising productivity by helping with mundane and tedious communication and scheduling tasks. In addition, the VPA focuses the user on the most contextually relevant items by screening, validating, and prioritizing inbound communications. Interaction with the VPA happens similar to a real personal assistant, using natural language commands, either spoken or written.    Suggested by Andrew

As the PDA allowed people to organize themselves via digital technology, the XDA enables people to get control over their busy lives via any communications medium at any time. With an XDA you go from reactive to proactive stemming the tide of communications overload.    Suggested by Andrew
