Maybe I'm not the exact target market, but I always carefully pick my search parameters and research my decision making. For showing up, this is impressive to send flowers, but there's always some minor details that break the experience, like the shop is closed, I can't pay via X service. The Hotels.com booking is great, but not everybody is that rich to book a villa :)

As I see it, Viv aims to be the Google of service providers which is a pretty neat goal, nobody did that successfully, so I'm rooting for them. The platform approach is also a good marketing strategy that they want to allow it to embedable. For example letting people say ask basic things about a monument in a remote national park. The applications are really limitless if it fits on a Raspberry PI like card.

As someone who like to break things, please Viv process this for me:

"VIV, please find me a cheap flight to Vienna, check Ryanair and Wizzair on the 21st of may for two adults" "order the results by price" "show details for the second one" "show the previous one" "are luggage included in the price?" "book it, but skip all marketing offers from the company" "find AirBnB apartments for that day that has wireless internet" "order results by price" "ok, then search in the range of 10 to 50€ per night" "select the first place" "message host: looking forward to meet you" "book it." "Viv, bring me a beer"
