Hunch is a collective intelligence decision-making system that uses decision trees to make decisions based on users' interest. The system asks users a series of questions about a topic to help weigh the options. Upon completion of the questions, the user is presented with results, where he or she can agree or disagree with the results to help "train" the system. Users can also add pros and cons about results. Hunch was launched on March 27, 2009.[1]
Hunch was co-founded by Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake[2] with an 11-person team of MIT graduates.[3] The company is located in New York City.[4]
Hunch, as of June 15, 2009, is now fully open and available to the public.[5]
History
Hunch started a preview period in the fall of 2008, but opened the preview to the public in March 2009.[6] Hunch was in invitation-only private beta. Users had to request an invitation at Hunch.com, which took a few days to receive.
