It is revolutionary. It is something you won’t be able to imagine your life without. It does relevant Internet searches for you— without you even asking for it. No more wasting hours scrutinizing Internet resources in desperate attempt to find reliable quality info!

Professor Watson gives people opportunity to be in charge of their time. It frees up your time by eliminating unnecessary tasks, so you will get more freedom to do what you want to do.

Professor Watson is about letting you keep your focus on task you are doing, instead of looking for information to use in the next steps of the task.

In a way, Professor Watson could be compared to Google. Google democratized information. You can now find almost anything on the web. But first you had to learn how to use Google. You had to spend some amount of time to think about what kind of words you had to type. Then you had to search and scroll through pages looking for relevant information. Imagine if you didn’t need to go through the hurdles of search?

Imagine if you could get the information you are interested in without even looking for it? You’d be able to just do what you want to do: continue learning new languages, studying new concepts or just continuing working.

Think about how much time you’re using on search. And think how much time you would have saved if you didn’t need to do it! It’s huge.

What is special about Professor Watson?

Its seamlessness.

When you switch from one task to another, you don’t just lose time — you lose focus and creativity flow. And you need to spend some time to get back to the flow. With Professor Watson, you can just do whatever you want to do, without losing your focus, creativity and the flow.

What is your background? Is it related to your startup?

I’m now working with programming and software development, especially mobile software development. I also have background from construction, logistics and driving.

Programmers and coders are quite lazy. They don’t want to do anything, and try to automate everything. When I‘m looking for some tech solutions, I spend a lot of time searching. It would be great to just have those solutions ready, so that I can just continue doing work.

I need this solution in my work. I want the system to do that, so I can save time and do my work more efficiently.

Why are you passionate about this project?

I am very curious about the future, and want to know where AI is going. I’d like to be part of it, and understand what’s going on. I would like to keep updated, but even better — be part of it. I want to understand it really well, and I will — because I’ll make it.

What are you going to do next semester?

Minimum 2 people have to be employed at Professor Watson to work on tasks related to customers and to technology we need to support our solution. There are some companies working on predicting web searches, and we are working on possible collaborations.

How did Moonwalk experience help you?

I learned the importance of “keeping focus”. I would always think about many topics and tasks at once. Instead of focusing on one task, I was doing many tasks halfway. Because of that, I wasted a lot of resources. Moonwalk helps me find path through the mess, and make things happen.

What would you tell someone who haven’t started in a Moonwalk Program?

If you are interested in entrepreneurship, that’s the place to go. Here you will do things clearly, without wasting any time, and without being lost. If you want to start with entrepreneurship, but don’t have experience, start here.
