A dynamic topic based messaging app where if you are in an instant messaging conversation with one or more people, and you start going on a tangent, that tangent gets automatically split off and relevant people of interest are invited to join that tangent conversation.
API's: Respoke (for instant messaging), IBM Bluemix (for backend) and Watson (for NLP stuff), HP Haven OnDemand (for NLP stuff)
