Transcript

I think too much of the talk about AI these days is focused on abstract benchmark scores or attention-catching stunts like winning a gold medal at an international math competition. But you know what I want out of AI? To reduce the time I spend on administrative and logistical efforts so that I have more time to focus on the deep things that actually move the needle. This is why I am excited about Superhuman Go, a chat-based AI assistant that's with you wherever you're already doing your work. It's already aware of what you're doing and ready to help. Let me give you a specific example that I personally found exciting. Let's say you're writing an email to your boss about the status of some project that you're leading, and you realize you want to include a status report based on the current state of the project tickets as stored in Jira. Well, without leaving Gmail, you can just pop up a Go window, type into it, add a quick summary from Jira at the end, and boom, Go goes to Jira, takes out the information, summarizes it, and throws it right there into the email window that you're writing in Gmail.
