I have been working on DatabyPeople.com for couple years now with our developers and designers and going through few iterations to shape this product; still a concept but getting closer to a beta launch.
The idea started from trying to demonstrate inflation on everyday consumer products, to realize the impact over time in a sensible way.
We built a tool that takes user’s numerical data, we thought it has to be location based, so we require users to have their device location on when entering their data.
We wanted the platform to grow by users’ data, much like Wikipedia, but in a numerical way, to become a public data repository. Everyday we have interesting use-cases and ideas that could help something, especially with the merge of AI.
I was reviewing one recent use case today which led me to the idea for IO by AI! Thought what if, we setup AI agents that will be checking the incoming data from Data by People, do the analysis and investigate further for the cause and effects.
For this case, what if we given people enter data on databypeople.com, on a regular basis for all their purchases, then also they enter their health symptoms – all anonymously! Comes with a specific increase of illness, the AI would be able to inspect the anomalies and make suggestions based on this data. i.e. increase purchase of products with sugar in a specific region resulted in increase of a specific cancer.
Data by People has many interesting use cases. Still requiring access to a mobile phone and internet with an interest to contribute. But we envision a day when everyone is willing to input the they are interested and help with the visibility of issues around the world.
