Hi Everyone,

I'm thinking of building a Voice-Chatbot to help my autistic brother be more productive. He is in his 20's now and works at a grocery store as a bagger. I've noticed for years now that my mother is constantly asking him the same questions, "Wake up", "take a shower", "get ready for work", "have you eaten today", "it's time to leave the house for work", etc. He would be consider to have mild autism on the autism spectrum since he can do well in school but has a hard time connecting with people socially which has lead to a life of isolation. I'm wondering if building a Voice Chatbot via Alexa would help lessen the load for my mother and help my brother with everyday tasks.

These are the task/commands I'm hoping to help him with.

1. Wake up (notify if work day or not) -Calendar API -bedroom light switch API

2. Get ready for work -Weight sensor API (for bed) -Shower sensor API -Mirror sensor (recognizes work outfit) API -Phone location sensor API

3. Ask what he has eaten today. -Record response -Send Daily Email/Text Summary to my mother

4. Ask if he would like to (random activity) -activity suggestions (go on a walk, go to the game store, go watch a movie, etc)

5. It's time to go to bed now -turns TV power switch off API -turns bedroom light switch API -lock computer API

Do you think this would be helpful with his everyday tasks and do have any suggestions?

I've always been curious about how much Uber drivers earn. I've asked my Uber drivers before but I am not sure if they are exaggerating. Do any of you have experience driving for Uber part-time and if so how much do you make hourly? (specifically in the Bay Area)

I'm curious how can someone buy their vested stock in a startup when they leave. When their is a 90 day buy back program. Are there any companies that help with this?

Our start up is looking to hire our first lead iOS engineer. We've done all of the development ourself up until now and now need someone with more expertise who has scaled an iOS app to 1 Million plus users. We would like to eventually hire them (lead iOS dev) full time if they are a great fit for what we need. What are some of the best resources for hiring a talented US Based Contractor?

Our start up is getting ready to launch/market our product via twitter users who have a large following. We want to track each twitter user and see which one is getting the most downloads. Is there a tool that can do this (Paid or free)?

I'm having really difficult time learning how to design my App on iOS. I've found some great Pods for my UI but I do not know how to integrate them. Do you know of any tutorials for iOS/XCode design?

Ideally in Swift.

I'm a total noob when it comes to iOS programming. I've built an iOS app using Swift that captures a user's video and I'm using Firebase as my backend. I'm trying to figure out how to create a user activity/news feed of all of my users videos. Do you know of any swift tutorials or suggestions?
