Cofounder of Silicon Valley startup Siri, Adam Cheyer, developed a new way for people to interact with services available on the internet. He terms it as a "do engine" rather than a search engine. This is a software that gives people a virtual personal assistant that can help people complete their tasks rather than get information. The software takes into account the user's context making it highly useful and flexible. Siri's orgins come from a military-funded artificial- intelligence project called CALO (cognitive assistant that learns and organizes). This personal assistant program improves by interacting with its users.
The initial version was to be released this year. It will be used for mobile devices where it will only do specific types of functions such as making restaurant reservations, checking flight status, or planning weekend activities. Below is a video that explains the personal assistant software.
