    I want a personal assistant that actually works. Like Siri or Alexa, but it can actually do secretarial tasks.

    “Find and schedule a roofing company to come fix the roof”

    “See if you can get me dinner reservations for a nice Italian restaurant tomorrow night at 630”

    “Write an email to bob apologizing for running over his dog”

    “Find an image on the internet of a person being mauled by a bear, edit the picture so that it’s James being mauled, and send picture to him”

    “Find a new show for me to watch and torrent the first episode, re-dub it in Japanese with Spanish subtitles”

      I’d be worried the service that suggests a roofing company or Italian restaurant would go to the highest bidder. That is, it would only contact the big nation wide chains, who pay apple & amazon, over the small local companies that give better service for half the price.

      That’s already the case when you use Google maps or Google search, but it feels like you’d have less control by giving the AI a single instruction
