      • Better comments: add threaded comments so you can keep your in-question conversations more organized

2022-01→ 2022-03

Planning

  • Continue MVP development and begin plans for public rollout

    • Features include:

      • SAGE: the AI chat bot YOU help train by asking questions and making predictions together. Pit your SAGE against other users' SAGEs and compete to train the smartest, most insightful AI.

      • Usefulness: rate publishers and content based on the extent to which they factor into your ability to make a correct prediction. This is where we start tackling misinformation directly.

      • Foresight: rate users and groups based on how accurate your predictions are over time.

      • Community-driven monetization: solicit subscriptions to your group-created content, questions and predictions. Leverage your community's expertise to earn money.

  • Continue invite-only beta testing

    • Give users more invites to share with friends

That's all we can share for now! Our long-term vision for Hypothesis includes plenty of plans, but startups move fast and roadmaps can change at the drop of a hat, so we don't think its very helpful to talk publicly about stuff more than 6 months out. Relevant stakeholders can contact info@hypothesis.fyi with inquiries. Keep an eye on this page for updates!
