What I want is a truly personal assistant (which LLM's should be capable of). Alexa can barely get me answers to google-able questions.

If I could be assured of privacy issues, I'd be happy to give it access to my email, calendar, bank accounts etc. and then let me just use it like a Chief of Staff.

I know another company is going to come do this, but it's crazy that that company may not be Alexa/Google.

Why is that so simple? I've had online bank accounts, calendars and emails for many years now, but I still can't do a "text search" across all of them. Isn't the LLM the easy part? How do you link and connect all the different systems you interact with?

I mean at its core operating a bank account, an email and a calendar is just running operations on a browser.

LLM's can do that (ex: https://www.skyvern.com or https://www.gumloop.com).

edit: Though more generally, I can see a future where all these operations are essentially different functions in a function calling system.

Letting an LLM use my banking login is now one of my wordt nightmarrs. Thanks, i hate it.
