Personal assistants at workplace could soon be out of vogue. A new algorithm developed by X.ai includes an artificial intelligence enabled personality named Amy Ingram who helps corporates with all tasks typically associated with Pas. This software works on the basis of emails being marked CC to this account and subsequently all meetings being scheduled, checklists being marked and all such sundry activities associated with PAs. Beyond software that enable the completion of single tasks that Taskrabbit or Doodle allow, Amy handles numerous assignments. This business innovation could however be unlike that of say Uber that is fighting taxicabs fearing for their survival. The founders claim that far from putting conventional PAs out of jobs, this will instead make their jobs easier, allowing them to move away from mundane tasks.
