Wakie Voice Conversation Guide

Learn fast about how to wakeup by the stranger.

This unofficial guide will help you learn fast about how to wakeup by the stranger's voice. The voice conversation app called Wakie, it let's complete strangers dial you up to help get your ass out of bed, and I couldn't think of anything more terrifying.

Here's how the app works. After signing in with your phone number, the app splits users into two groups: Sleepyheads and Wakies. Sleepyheads are the slumbering people who need waking, and Wakies are the users tasked with getting the job done. After that, it's similar to your standard hotel room wakeup service, except for one key difference. According to The Next Web, it tries to pair you with a caller around your age and of the opposite gender, turning your first early morning moments into some bizarre, heterosexual dating game. I can't imagine this ever being very successful while conversing in fluent half-garbled, morning zombie responses. This app may be too weird for most and its UX could use some design help, but it is another addition in a growing trend of putting real human interaction back into the technology we use in our lives.
