Linguistic Agents, a Jerusalem-based startup in the field of Natural Language Understanding, announced the launch of a new service, InfoJew.
The SMS service will allow Jews to use their cell phones to find synagogues, kosher restaurants, Chabad houses, mikvehs (ritual purification baths) as well as the exact times for prayers, Shabbatot and holidays anywhere in the world.
"A member of our team recently found himself in Prague during his return journey from attending the 3GSM conference and had to SMS his wife, asking her to search online for the nearest kosher restaurant," explained Simcha Margaliot, senior vice President and COO of Linguistic Agents.
