    How did you choose a name for your product?

    Let me start first: our project inqoob - which means incubator, which means a place where something is grown and nurtured. We offer a platform not only for creating chatbots, but also for entrepreneurship, where you can create and sell your solutions, invite new users through referral links and get a good income. There have been a few funny cases involving our brand name. Before naming our brand, we cross-checked many times to see if there was any strange meaning associated with it. At first we didn't encounter such cases, but after the first official beta release we found out that our brand name turned out to be close to an ancient Mesopotamian demon. All kidding aside, we're not against something divine but for making the world a better place, and I hope that our brand name will evoke positive vibes from our users. Do you have a story related to your product name? What prompted you to choose your brand name?

    Interesting! There are other interesting examples, like Steve Jobs came up with the brand name Apple simply because he liked apples, and it sounded fun, spirited and not intimidating. The name Samsung in Korean means three stars, and the number three is associated with positive things by many Koreans. Google was interestingly derived from the original planned name googol, which is a mathematical term for number one followed by 100 zeroes.

    @abhishek_mohanty5 Yes, there are tons of examples) and sometimes everything brilliant turns out to be very ordinary. I especially like it when the names of brands and companies are the names of their founders) Simple and keeps you and your family immortalized)
