Meet @DearAssistant, a Twitter bot that is like a mini version of Siri. You can tweet your questions in plan English and the bot will reply with an answer.

The Twitter bot is internally using Wolfram Alpha so there’s a whole range of questions that it can answer. Here are some questions that people have asked @DearAssistant so far:

  • How many calories are in Diet Coke? (link)
  • When was Mahatama Gandhi born? (link)
  • What is the distance between city A and city B (link)
  • Who directed the film M (link)
  • What is the price of Kindle Paperwhite (link)
