What Is a Personal Assistant Based on Artificial Intelligence?
The notion of personal assistants often seems a privilege of the wealthy and fortunate. But in reality, it has gone beyond that. AI-based personal assistants are the new luxury that is affordable to anyone. These sophisticated instruments offer users opportunities to delegate their tasks and boost productivity.
In 2024, these tools are already rising in industries like healthcare, fintech, and sales. Their market is proposed to reach $6.27 billion by 2026. But what do the potential users know about personal assistants with AI at their core? Let’s see.
AI-Powered Personal Assistants and Their Key Features
Two key technologies are typical for developing a personal AI assistant : deep learning and natural language generation. These two technologies come with the following key features:
The ability of the tool to understand user queries and interpret them, as well as foster more interactions.
Proactive production of human-like replies with personalized and semantically applicable information.
Context perseverance across interactions to deliver relevant and coherent responses based on a conversation that’s still going.
Uninterrupted learning from previous interactions to adapt to user needs and improve performance.
Performance of tasks (simple and more complex) based on various requests and situational actions.
Augmentation of conversational flow through context understanding and elimination of replicated/incoherent replies.
It doesn’t mean that all AI-based personal assistants are duty-bound to have all the features from the list above. And you’d be surprised to know there are different types of personal assistants based on Artificial Intelligence.
Types of AI-Based Personal Assistants
We’ll highlight the core types for you to decide what you exactly need:
AI Writing Assistants (Grammarly, ChatGPT, Hemingway Editor)
Their task is to help users write better. Such instruments always offer feedback on grammar and wording, provide real-time suggestions and tips, and boost the clarity and tonality of a text.
These tools are falsely considered instruments for students only. While in reality, they help business executives and writers.
AI Virtual Assistants (Salesforce Einstein, Microsoft Cortana, ClickUp Brain)
These are exceptional tools that assist users across domains and assignments. They are known for their smooth integration into one’s professional or personal life, handling emails, managing schedules, and even assisting with shopping.
They have voice-enabled functionality and get sharper with every iteration to evolve and keep supporting a user through the years.
AI Project Assistants (Trello, Monday.com, Asana)
Project management tasks are rationalized and sped up using these AI project assistants. They track task progress, boost active communication, and offer multiple collaboration features
A business owner, a project manager, a team lead, or an executive assistant can use them to create schedules, assign tasks, make predictions, and more.
Workflow-Specific AI Assistants (QuickBooks, HubSpot, Ross Intelligence)
They are sharpened to help with a specific activity. Such instruments are perfect for business and can help employees automate 80% of their routine responsibilities. The most widely used assistants are those for marketing, sales, HR managers, and customer support.
Finance and legal assistants are still gaining popularity but are already great in invoicing, reporting, and even risk assessment.
AI Voice Assistants (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant)
These are the tools for a hand-free interaction. Such AI-based personal assistants are indispensable parts of smartphones, modern cars, or smart speakers. They accept and understand voice commands and respond using voice synthesis technologies.
Such tools are diverse. They have diverse functions. They offer reminders. And they can control smart home devices.
Capacity Building Assistants (Duolingo, Coursera, Khan Academy)
Such virtual assistants help users augment their learning. They make use of AI and develop a personalized learning course to refine knowledge, skills, and capabilities. After understanding a user’s goals, motivation, and current skills, they recommend courses and monitor one’s progress.
Very often, such instruments help users to know whether they’re ahead of their competitors or are still staying behind.
Benefits of Personal Assistants on AI
So how can a regular user benefit from integrating a personal assistant based on Artificial Intelligence into their life? These are the main points of an impact:
Growth of one’s operational efficiency
Round-the-clock availability of an assistant and its ongoing performance
Lower staffing costs
Immense personalization
Quick and reliable scalability
Elimination of errors
Multitasking
Proficiency across many languages
Profound data analysis
Surely, you may call these benefits pretty basic. But, their intensity and the effect they make are different, depending on (a) the type of personal AI-based assistant and (b) the domain where an assistant is used.
Summing Up
You may think you are fine where you are now. And that may be true. But will you be as fine in a year or two, once everyone around you has an experience of work with an AI-driven assistant?
Integrate an assistant today to feel free from routine tomorrow. Experience the benefits and enjoy the outcomes.
