A Manifesto

The People-First Approach.

At Wings, we embrace a People-First Approach to revolutionize the services industry, focusing specifically on in-person interactions. Our manifesto addresses critical sectors such as food and beverage (F&B), hospitality, residential services, transport, and laundry, while also integrating unmanned services like car washes, ATMs, kiosks, and vending machines. By harnessing over seven years of research, we aim to standardize service delivery through a Federation of Services, fostering a services-agnostic interface that enhances user experience and accessibility.
Today

Current State and
Importance of Change

The current landscape of the services industry is characterized by shallow digitization efforts that often fail to penetrate the core of internal logistics, which remain largely analog and heavily reliant on human intervention. Many businesses operate with workflows that are one-way, presuming all systems are functioning smoothly. However, when issues arise, over 90% of users find themselves reverting to analog means to resolve problems, often necessitating multiple phone calls or in-person visits.

Additionally, technologies emerging from Silicon Valley and current robotics are inadequate to meet the present and future needs of humanity in the services sector. These solutions often overlook the complexities of human experience, focusing instead on efficiency without addressing deeper issues like fear, doubt, and anxiety. Clear transparency and genuine empowerment of users remain elusive.

The evolution of how humans engage with their environment and services is intricately tied to lifestyle and the urban landscape. As we move forward, it is imperative that we embrace a more profound transformation—one that truly prioritizes the individual and their experiences.
A Guide

Purpose

The purpose of this manifesto is to inspire and mobilize stakeholders—including service providers, policymakers, and community leaders—to collaboratively transform in-person service delivery. Our objective is to create environments that prioritize the well-being of individuals, ensuring that every interaction contributes to a fulfilling experience. This document serves not just as a blueprint but as a guiding philosophy that advocates for a service ecosystem designed around the human experience.
Empowering the Individual

Overview

In a rapidly evolving world, where technology intersects with everyday life, the People-First Approach focuses on creating a service ecosystem that respects and addresses individual health concerns, preferences, and sensitivities. We envision a communication layer that is language-agnostic, enabling seamless interactions across various services.

We recognize that every individual navigates a microcosm of services that reflect their lifestyle. Our goal is to remove analog frictions—primarily within communication—so that every service feels personalized and intuitive. By leveraging automation, we aim to enhance in-person services without overshadowing the fundamental human connection that underlies them.
An Evolution

The Individual Age

As we progress through the early decades of the 21st century, we trace the journey of societal transformation through the evolution of the "i's"—from the Industrial Age to the forthcoming Individual Age. This trajectory marks significant milestones where technology and society intersected to redefine the course of civilization:
  • i1 - Industrial Age: The era that revolutionized production and birthed modern cities, harnessing steam power and machinery to initiate mass production and urban growth.
  • i2 - Intellectual Age: A phase where knowledge became the currency of progress, emphasizing information processing, innovation, and the spread of ideas.
  • i3 - Information/Internet Age: Characterized by digital explosion and global connectivity, redefining access to information and community.
  • i4 - Individual/Intuitive Age: The upcoming epoch, where personalization and AI-driven systems craft services and experiences uniquely attuned to each person.
In this i4 Age, service provision becomes individualized, with technology playing a crucial role in anticipating and responding to needs in real-time. Our vision for Wings is to manifest a new way of life, where services are fluid, adapting to the evolving desires and situations of individuals.

Intention-Driven Ecosystem

Intention Manifestor System (IMS)

At the forefront of our vision is the Intention Manifestor System (IMS), designed to manifest the complex end-goal intentions of individuals and businesses. The IMS serves as a sophisticated framework that auto-generates workflows and interconnects various services, creating a seamless and coherent service experience.

Goals and Benefits of IMS:
  1. Manifesting Intention: The IMS focuses on understanding and realizing the unique intentions of users, regardless of complexity. By intuitively connecting the dots between disparate services, it ensures that individuals can achieve their goals without navigating the complexities of the service landscape alone.
  2. Automating Workflows: By automating workflows, the IMS significantly reduces the reliance on human labor for routine tasks. This shift not only enhances efficiency but also gives individuals back their time, allowing them to focus on more meaningful pursuits.
  3. Facilitating Decision-Making: AI within the IMS acts as a facilitator, helping users make informed decisions based on real-time data and insights. This empowers individuals to navigate their choices confidently, reducing the fear and anxiety often associated with complex service interactions.
  4. Interconnected Services: The IMS creates a homogeneous network of services that work in harmony to fulfill the user's intentions. This interconnectedness ensures that every aspect of service delivery is streamlined and personalized, reducing friction and enhancing user satisfaction.
  5. Empowerment Through Transparency: By providing clear insights and access to service options, the IMS addresses the common frictions driven by opaque technologies. It empowers users by giving them true agency over their interactions, thereby alleviating concerns about fear, doubt, and anxiety.
