I could spend the whole AMA composing that list. A few that immediately come to mind: some pretty big areas like music-related information ("rolling stones albums from the 70s”) and song lyrics ("lyrics to shake it off”), or pro sports information ("MLB team with the most postseason homers in 2014”), or financial data ("market cap for facebook, apple, microsoft”). And probably hundreds of odd little bits of hidden knowledge, like wordplay (“anagrams of britney spears”), or object-packing estimations ("How many m and m's fit in a Boeing 747?”). -alan

• It feels like being superwoman? It's really one of my favorite parts of this job. Being able to directly impact students. -stephanie
• It’s probably the best part of the job. At the end of the day it’s neat to think people worldwide use stuff I built. -chip

• I'm excited to see our Step by Step content expanded for different topics so we can help students succeed in more classes! (Geography, Chemistry, etc.) This content will also allow us to generate unlimited quizzes for these topics with the http://www.wolframalpha.com/problem-generator/ -clayton
• Well I think it'd be cool if we could use it more with other products... like integrate it with Google Docs. And maybe we will be able to... dun dun dunnn -stephanie

Funny you mention that. We're always looking for talented people to come help us out. Apply here and mention reddit in the comments. No but seriously... apply and come hang out with us? -stephanie

Yup! We are currently expanding solving problems with multiple methods. We have this already for a few things like systems of equations and ODE’s. -chip
