    No! :) *we do continue to label data though and will probably have a large "AI Trainer" staff in place for any NEW skill we want Amy to have in the future.

    Well, I cc'ed Eric, Ken and Taylor, and Amy worked with them individually to find the best time. Upon conclusion, she sent the invite AND out came a $check. ;)

    It's not supposed to be exciting; 87 US knowledge workers schedule a little bit above 10 billion meetings a year. I just want to help them do that (no more, no less). Users couldn'…

    I am not sure I would be offended if somebody called a service "Dennis" (probably the opposite). That aside, use Andrew Ingram instead, or name her yourself and move her to your do…

    I agree and I could easily see myself use something like that. However, I want something (naively perhaps) which my Mom can use. My worst nightmare is one where early users inadver…

    Absolutely agree. We must understand the social dynamics that are inherently built into every meeting - and this is one 4 major challenges we are working on going forward. But our …

    - We've seen that the response data is more rich in this style of writing - We've seen that "Normal's" want to talk to their assistant without Syntax (my biggest worry is one of ea…

    Building a conversation model which can negotiate with multiple guests on behalf of the host in plain english is not easy (for us). This includes simple social concepts such as "co…

    My bad, let me rephrase, near 100%. Super naive perhaps, but we feel it is worth a shot. Hell, we might die trying, but we'll certainly come out a whole lot wiser on the other side…

    Well, Matt Casey and I thought it was clever, if not a bit funny; Amy Ingram, A.I. and Ngram in one. What's not to like!? :-)

    It is very hard to do an asynchronous negotiation with another human in an APP like setting. It is also hard (perhaps impossible) to create a UX experience which anticipates all po…

    The human part is a data annotation part, something which helps us move towards full automation. There is obviously no way a human operation will ever get to the end of those ~10 B…

    Amy (The AI Assistant) remember all the meetings she set up for you (and she'll remind you if needed) - so even if you did not have a calendar, she would avoid conflicts (unless yo…

    Not really. I honestly think the current assistant and all his human ingenuity could be better utilized on other tasks.

    Like a human assistant which you would CC when scheduling meetings. Email amy@x.ai and ask her to set up a meeting as you would normally do. She understands the request and then st…
