Let’s try to have the same format• An objective point of view• Much easier to follow
Format that I propose:1. General Description2. Usage: common scenarios3. Architecture: Big Picture4. Architecture: Drill-down5. Comparison with main competitors (where it performs
better, worse, different, etc.)6. Real-life problem and solution using the selected technology7. Conclusions8. Discussions, Q&A, etc.

Benefits Groovy on Grails

SpotTune(1)
Problem:
• We are very bad at repetitive tasks - That is normal!
• Why not let technology manage those boring tasks for us
• If you need something done more than twice, do a program which does it
for you!
Have you ever needed to…
• Send your girlfriend / boyfriend a message when you leave the house or
office
• Put your phone on „silent‟ whenever entering the church or movie theatre
• Turn on your Wi-Fi every time you enter your house (“home is where your
Wi-Fi is!)
• These are only some tasks that SpotTune is able to do right away!
SpotTune(2)
Solution:Through the one thing we almost always have with us: our
cellphone and through the “thing“ that we mostly interact with :
Internet
What it does
• SpotTune automates tasks for you which trigger when
certain events happen
• The user can select both the tasks and the triggers in
an intuitive and simple way
VisionFurther features:
• Enter events from web platform – www.spot-tune.com
• Synchronize tasks and settings throughout your devices (phone, tablets, web)
• Online storing of tasks
• Suggestions on different places (ex. If everyone has phone on silent on some
location, you can receive a suggestion ”Hei, you should have your phone on silent
here” etc.)
• Assign tasks to your friends (Eg: If you arrive at shop, send a message to your
friend John :”Hei do you need something from the shop?”
• Add tasks to someone else (request-accept)
I do believe that core idea of SpotTune can be applied to so many other tasks that
can automatized. We are already able to connect different devices and activities – so
called “Internet of things”. Why not automatize most of them?
E.g – turn home heating on when you approaching home
On the official website www.spot-tune.com there will be a public area where normal
users can vote for features and suggest features that will make their life better.
They just have to let their imagination fly – SpotTune and technology will manage the
rest.
