Are you indecisive? Did you have trouble picking whom to vote for, what to have for lunch today, or even whether to respond to these rhetorical questions? Hunch, a new site in private beta from Flickr cofounder Caterina Fake, is designed to get to know its users well enough to help them make just about any decision imaginable.
Put simply, Hunch is a “decision-making tool that’s customized for you.” The site presents a myriad of real-world topics, such as “Is my partner cheating on me?” or “Should I accept an early retirement offer?” then provides a series of questions to help you determine the best answer(s). Topics are organized into a broad array of categories, such as autos, personal care, electronics, hobbies, local, politics, sports, travel, and more. The site’s founders claim that after asking you just 10 questions on topics like whether alien abductions are real and which of four types of art you prefer, Hutch will “provide a concrete result for decisions of every kind.” Users can submit their own topics, recommend new questions for existing topics, and otherwise contribute to help make Hunch a smarter tool that, ideally, gets to know you and provide better answers.
