Hi Kim – Our chat and your MMA presentation inspired me to share 2 cool pictures of you and the below 2 items…
- A great big idea – Solve global water availability with mobile.
- A few really good ideas – Alexa Skills, Hololens hacks, and our Google geo goodness
Per our chat, we can, of course, ignite exploration moments with our app for Six Flags!
Here are the 2 items that extend your Connected Coke agenda to mobile app and cloud-connected device experiences…
1) A great big idea – Solve global water availability with mobile.
We want to build an app for Coke that helps solve the global water crisis. This is a Billion person problem and one that is fundamental for Coke’s next decade of expansion across all brands. This is a hard problem that our team is equipped to solve using mobile technology to build “two sided technologies”.… people can identify needs via app or texting the American Red Cross, United Nations, and other partners that help service these needs.
Why Raizlabs? Because our mission is to improve lives with design and technology… Thru innovative software development, mobile strategy, apps, cloud integration … all while solving business problems.

2) A few really good ideas – Alexa Skills, Hololens hacks, and our Google geo goodness.
Amazon’s Alexa Echo “skills” will ignite interest, trigger actions, and extend “occasions.” See the below short demo video for ordering beverages from one of the startups in our XLR8 program. More on our Echo services here.
The Raizlabs team has several skills being approved by Amazon. This example, for the Buttery spirits and beverage delivery startup (that is part of our XLR8 program), has customer authentication, integration with Buttery’s backend system, ordering, and payment. As easy as “Beer me!”

We just finished a Hololens Hackathon with the Microsoft Team here in our offices. What we learned is that Augmented Reality is where the “real” action is as you can look thru the headset for awesome overlays of data. Virtual Reality units like Facebook’s Oculus are great for experiences like games – but not reality. Allow us to share how we use exceptional experiences as the best way to acquire and understand preferences and desires.

We want to help Coke expand on your use of proximity technologies to seamlessly connect to micro-relationships and transactions…which go hand-in-hand … when that hand has a custom smartphone app more powerful than a mobile browser website.
Because our obsession is to “Improve People’s Lives Through Design and Development,” we earn awesome recognition and projects. Google just chose Raizlabs as one of the top 13 certified developer agencies in the world!
When Perkins School for the Blind won a $750,000 grant from Google to develop micro-navigation services with Boston’s MBTA Transit, Raizlabs was the ideal choice. See the NPR “Bus Stop Challenge” story. Listen to it here at the below audio player:
