Thanks again for sharing
You said it needed to be addressed, and was a priority yet the question remains unanswered. It gives me the cognitive-dissonance.
In reality, it is a lengthy decision tree. I do not want to put that here or on the company's website as it will just maximize the confusion. But it makes sense to put the common easy cases and then ask for contact in the rest. Which is probably the path we take as it will save us some time.
That being said I challenge you to find a company who offers similar tech and have pricing on their website. I suspect what I mentioned is the reason. I could be wrong.
Would that type of stuff be viable with your technology?
Though would be a way of automated nappy changing, but an automated rattle or such toy triggered by the baby may well make some tasks less impacting and equally more engaging for the baby. Though identification of needs and with that recognition via audio would be the start.
Mycroft is all FOSS
Kitt seems all FOSS too
Snips has a big CTA to 'Contact Enterprise Team'
It's clear you're trying to discover the right price and of course it's complex. Please be upfront about it, what you've said here could be copy-pasta to your site already.
I've been watching Pico for a while, it's very interesting but I'm feeling like you keep teasing more FOSS and being unclear on costs.
I want to like your project too but currently the others are doing a bit better on presentation.
Something as simple as a few basic use cases, android app, no engineering support, under 10,000 unite, x price for example maybe.
I'm a small developer and tinkerer, so my choice to explore more on not is really price sensitive. However I do also consult with other groups, and may suggest your product as a fit if it meets other criteria I look for "private voice AI" - you've already checked a few boxes!
However, any time I see a "contact us for price inquiries" - I shut down. I know if they can't tell me the price on the page I can't afford it. At that point I don't bookmark the site, I don't research any further, and it reinforces the awesomeness of other projects I've put into my memory for use.
This is not just you, it's a lot of projects/ site on the web.
I assume these businesses are mainly looking for those high volume / high price clients and or people with that kind of money to buy them out completely.. all the while making a cheap plan for people to tinker with, build an MVP and maybe scale up.. and perhaps get enough mid range sales to prove they are worth something to others..
Of course that's not the game plan for every service out there. Anyhow good luck to ya, glad to see people working on ways to do things more privately one way or another.
That would indeed be great.
Also, if complex decision tree is your real objection, then consider putting a price range. "Depending on X, Y and other factors, the price ranges from A for minimal deployment low on Z, to B for large-scale solutions.". Or something like that.
Exact prices are always the best, but estimates for typical cases and a price range are second-best. It lets a potential user decide whether to even bother checking your service out.
