Читать книгу Designing Agentive Technology - Christopher Noessel - Страница 42

Going on first dates can be harrowing. Who knows if that person is genuinely charming, or a well-practiced sociopath? You should have a backup, someone who will check up on you. But then again, you don’t want to burden friends with remote chaperone duties for every single date you go on. Enter the safety agent that is kitestring.io. You tell Kitestring when to check up on you, information about the date you’re going on, and an emergency contact. When time is up, Kitestring sends you a text to make sure you’re OK. If you don’t answer, or reply with your fake safe word, it forwards the information about the date to the emergency contact, presumably so they can take immediate action to find you and ensure your safety. If you answer with the real safe word, Kitestring erases the information about the date and stops checking up on you. It’s not a replacement for being careful, but an additional tool in your arsenal.
