Imagine having a personal assistant greet you when you come home from work after a long day. Your assistant welcomes you home, asks how your day was, and tells you dinner is almost ready.

Whether you’re in a bad mood or a good mood, your assistant won’t complain. In fact, your assistant never complains — about anything.

Your reliable companion helps in just about every area of your life, including:

• Answering questions based on the latest news and available information
• Drafting and sending texts, memos, letters, emails, and more — often with minimal instruction and oversight
• Scheduling appointments
• Suggesting ideas for your work, your business, and even your personal projects
• Reminding you of upcoming meetings, doctor appointments, family events, and more
