From Episode 52: She Sold Her First AI Company to Google in 2009. Now She Is Fixing How Teams Work., starting at 20:28.
Jennifer Dulski [20:27]: Can I ask a question? How do you feel about the memory piece? Because this is something also we're thinking about in our product. Like, if it if you ask it a question and it remembers a whole bunch of stuff you said before, is that helpful or creepy?
Jordan Metzner [20:41]: To me, that's helpful. Like, I set my alarms every night before what I have to do in the morning. If they're not set, like, why doesn't it just ask me, like, hey, like, do you need your alarm set? Like, are you on at the same time as always? Or do you want me to make it earlier or later? Like, looks like you didn't set them today. Right? So, there is some, like, AI ish right now that, like, it'll, like, put your phone to sleep at nighttime and, like, some basic stuff like that. But it doesn't feel, like, sentient. Like, it doesn't feel like it knows enough about you to, like, do the things for you that make it more convenient because, like, end of the day, you just don't wanna miss your meetings the next day. Setting the alarm is, like, not hard, but remembering to set your alarm is, like, the hard part. Right?
