If You Had Your Own J.A.R.V.I.S.: What Artificial Intelligence In Business Might Be Like

At OneReach, some of us think the coolest part of the Iron Man movies is the artificial intelligence that helps power Tony Stark's armor and business operations. Virtual assistant services like Magic and GoButler already exist, but requests are all managed by real people on the other end. And while there are services like My Second that incorporate artificial intelligence into their service offering, there's nothing on the level of J.A.R.V.I.S. Siri is probably the most ubiquitous example of artificially intelligent personal assistant, but she's more of a recommendation engine than true AI. Similarly, Echo, Amazon's sparkling new home automation assistant, can only respond to simple voice commands. However, Echo's functionality is beefed up once you add in the fact that Echo can connect to other apps to access their capabilities.
