Say Hello to Your Personal AI Assistant

According to the Work Trend Index Annual Report: Will AI Fix Work?, 64% of people have struggled with finding time and energy to get their work done, and the amount of time spent in Microsoft Teams meetings and calls has tripled per week since February of 2020 ¹. With less time to accomplish tasks, employees are forced to complete their work with tighter deadlines, which can lead to more stress, employee unhappiness, and more mistakes being made due to the added pressure of getting more tasks done than ever before.
