I asked it to come up with a list of friends for different types of activities (theater, concert, comedy, black tie gala, charity volunteer event, etc) and I disagreed with about half the rankings and categorizations. Worth it to have a personal CRM just so AI can help plan

Tonight I’m at AiOS SF talking AI on Apple devices, but… one more thing 😀 Years ago at Apple I set up a demo for a senior government official: real-time translation software for service members, running on an iPod touch strapped to a forearm. Before it started, I was alone in

User Reports AI Planning Required More Apologies Than Manual Organization
By
–
Overall, I had to send more apologies for the AI’s behavior than it would have taken for me to just plan the afternoon myself, but a worthy experiment nonetheless, and it will only get better. My inbox is all messages like these. I will almost certainly do it again. Probably

Dot User Wants More Initiative From an AI Executive Assistant
By

More cons: unlike a stellar EA, Dots had no concept of going above and beyond (like creating a plan b or giving us interesting background on the exhibits or even fun questions to kick off the day). Dots – you are not a human EA, you are AI. You can be weird and write a poem

Dot Planning Test Exposes Memory, Reminder and Purchasing Limitations
By
–
More cons: it kept thinking I was gluten-free, forgot to send me the reminders it had promised to send, and despite the $500 budget, it largely picked free activities. Because Dots can’t purchase natively, I hoped it would use chrome plugin and just ask me for payment

AI Planning Experiment Reveals Trouble Pivoting and Excessive Restaurant Emails
By
–
Cons: it sucks at pivoting and starting fresh. Like a robot ramming into a wall instead of opening the door to its left. The AI repeatedly emailed one and only one restaurant in new york from my personal email (I apologized to them), it reached out to several friends that I
