Voicera today announced it has acquired Wrappup to expand its meeting assistant Eva to the AI note-taking app for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. Voicera has raised $20 million from some of the biggest names at the intersection of enterprise and AI, including Microsoft Ventures, Cisco Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and GV, formerly Google Ventures. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Cisco and Microsoft both shared plans last year to bring Spark Assistant and Cortana into the workplace and meeting rooms. With millions of G Suite customers and Alexa expanding into the workplace as well, Google Assistant may join other tech companies that want to bring their assistants into offices and meeting rooms.

In 2016 84% of UK employees regularly worked beyond their contracted hours. Maybe that works for you if you have superhuman energy levels, but for most people it can be pretty gruelling. Working in consulting where the average number of working hours per week is 56.6, I would more often than not come home completely destroyed and want to collapse into bed. While some of that is part of the job, wouldn't it be awesome if we could use technology to reduce the workload and give us more time?
