Clever, @andrewjiang! I can see this being valuable for customer support but it could also be packaged into a "pen pal" product to enable people across cultures and languages to communicate. This would be fun to experiment. Riffing here:
1) Once a week users are prompted to answer a specific question (e.g. What did you do today? What was your favorite childhood toy?
2) Users reply via email (a la StoryWorth cc @nickbaum), Babel Mail translates the message to another language, and delivers it to someone else across the world (a la Rando cc @millsustwo)
3) The sender also receives the response from the same person and a thread is opened up between the two individuals to continue the conversation.
Could be a fun way to learn about other cultures, encourage empathy, and connect people across the world.
Anyway, back to you, Andrew. :) Who did you build Babel Mail for and what use cases do you foresee?
This reminds me a lot of Unbabel, that was featured here on PH about a month back: http://www.producthunt.co/posts/...
Very interesting space. Unbabel also does email translations and are planning integrations with Gmail and other platforms. And you got very similar names too - not sure who started out first, but be careful with potential trademark issues here.
