"Amy feels like the future. Even more than Siri and Google Now, she seems seamlessly human and as effective as a real person doing the same task.”

The goal is to schedule a meeting in as few emails as possible. With that in mind, x.ai settled on a set of personality traits for its assistants: polite, professional, friendly and clear.

In an interview with Bloomberg North’s Anthony Lacavera, Dennis Mortensen, the founder and CEO of x.ai, discusses why their specialized A.I. is the best approach to help businesses.

How do you build a personality from scratch? At x.ai, the process is handled by Anna Kelsey and Diane Kim, who have backgrounds in theater and cognitive science, respectively.

The company behind Amy Ingram, the realistic AI personal assistant, is launching an enterprise edition

x.ai targets teams with business edition of its AI scheduling assistant

A New York startup called x.ai wants to simplify meeting scheduling with a helpful bot, and they just launched a product aimed at serving businesses.

Today, for $40 per month, Amy Ingram is putting some magic back into my calendar management. And that is money well spent.

Dear HR, I'm in love with my personal assistant, Amy.

This AI personal assistant took 3 years and millions to build — it completely fooled me.

The proof of Amy’s helpfulness is that, although she’s not human, I can’t help interacting with her as if she were.

Need Help Scheduling Meetings? Just Ask x.ai's Amy.

Amy can now schedule all of your meetings for $39.

Gillian Morris, the founder of Hitlist, has been using Amy, a virtual assistant from x.ai for about two years, to schedule meetings.

Once you CC Amy and ask her to take control, you can literally just sit back and wait for the meeting date to arrive in your inbox even if there's multiple people involved. This is a glimpse into the future.

When applicable, developers should provide the user the choice to pick the bot’s gender (and other diversity attributes). An example of that is x.ai with their Amy/Andrew bot configuration.

x.ai products Andrew and Amy Ingram are intelligent AI assistants that when CC'd on an email, interact with other parties as a human assistant would to efficiently get them on your calendar.

One of the most challenging aspects of having a remote team is trying to arrange times for meetings. Amy is a digital personal assistant from NYC-based startup x.ai which might just have the answer.

Must-have items: x.ai's "Amy" does the laborious work of setting up meetings for you. Sign up for the virtual assistant, copy her into emails and she'll do all the rest.

What x.ai does is to take your input and then find the optimal time and place for the meeting. The bot schedules it with all parties to save you time. And it’s much more efficient at doing that task than a human would be.
