Kraken.Me

Kraken.Me (Research project)Our life is entrenched in digital workflows, but at the end of the day, easy questions are hard to answer:

What did I do on my phone or computer during the day? Which documents or mails did I access? Which projects did I work on and with whom? Which people are important when?

Most of those questions regarding your digital identity are not easy to answer. All these digital footprints are also linked to different goals and intentions. Finding the overarching goal behind different actions is hard, but personal assistants, e.g., Cortana, Siri, and Google Now, prove that the future of computing is personalized.

Kraken.me offer a comprehensive tracking suite to capture your personal digital life. No matter if you are mobile, on your laptop, desktop or in your social networks. This will enable you to answer the above mentioned questions and dig deep into your digital footprint. It will also enable us to do research. For example finding links between actions and goals. Reason about the difference between planning and activity. And to build more intelligent system at the end.

The overarching goal of Kraken.me is to enable personalized assistance to the user catering to his current goals. We want to know your intentions and goals and enrich your digital workflow with meaningful information at any time. We want to give you more time to concentrate on what is important to you.
