Adept Raises $350 Million To Build AI That Learns How To Use Software For You

Traditionally, more complex software is harder to use. Nabeel Hyatt, general partner at Spark Capital, says that if Adept's team (pictured) achieves its full potential, this may no longer be the case. Chatbots rule the day in AI for now, but soon, Adept cofounder David Luan predicts, AI won't just display unsettlingly human responses to typed queries, it will execute them. It will do what you would do with your computer for you. Granted such technology is still years away, but the speed of innovation in the AI space means we're talking about two to three years, according to Luan -- not decades.
