Tempo (software) explained

Tempo was an artificial intelligence-enhanced calendar application for iOS. Developed by Tempo AI, a spinoff of SRI International, the application was reviewed by numerous blogs and media outlets, including Wired,[1] VentureBeat,[2] TechCrunch,[3] and others.[4] [5] Raj Singh, Thierry Donneau-Golencer and Corey Hulen are the Co-Founders of Tempo AI, Inc.[6]

Using data (from social media, calendars, emails, contacts, location, etc.) stored on a user's iPhone or iPod touch, Tempo compiled information related to any given event and displayed it when requested, hence making the application context-aware.[7]

Information

The application was launched on February 13, 2013,[8] and a reservation system was implemented on February 18, 2013, in order to handle high demand of over 100,000 signups.[9] The day the reservation system was launched, nearly 73% of the ratings Tempo received in the App Store were one-star, the lowest possible.[10] Previously, the application had received mainly five-star ratings.[11]

On May 29, 2015, it was announced[12] that Tempo had been acquired by Salesforce.com.[13] The Tempo app was shut down on June 30, 2015.
