    That’s really exactly what this is - a virtual assistant - but with capabilities beyond what the current virtual assistants offer. On top of that, the end user can easily teach it new tasks, something current assistants lack. Current assistants are limited to their very limited established featuresets and integrations, while this tech allows the user to create their own integrations with little to no technical skill.

    Now who knows how well it works in practice - but in theory, I could absolutely see this taking off for a large segment of the population. I see this as significantly more efficient than using a smartphone if the tech works. For example - flights - I could manually check and compare prices and layovers, enter all my information into a form with a smartphone keyboard, navigate each page, confirm, etc, which would take minimum a few minutes, or I could ask this AI to do that for me with a sentence. Tapping glass will one day be a thing of the past, and this is the biggest step I’ve seen in that direction. Competency will be the key here.
