I don't know if they have the world's most powerful NLP toolkit (what does that even mean?), but they do have a strong team. I think it's worth a second look.


I don't question their team. It at least sounds mightily impressive (just checked). My problem was, that this Form of marketing claim put me off.

Might be a cultural thing.

I wasn't even interested in spending more time than looking at around 5 pages to see if the claim might be substantiated somewhere. It wasn't obvious so the heuristic is that it is not substantiated.

I'm totally with you, and...

> Might be a cultural thing.

...for me it might actually be a "cultural" thing. I'm from Norway, and in Norway it's illegal for companies to _claim_ that their products are the best, cheapest etc. So to me, whenever someone claims this - like in this case - my BS-instincts immediately kicks in, and I become very skeptical.

Sorry for the digression. :)


I’ve worked with some truly excellent people who came from Theranos.


Their combined total bench press weight is truly outstanding.


thank you
