Can AI help solve asynchronous communication gaps?

Question

Problem: In async communication (e.g. leaving message to someone 5+ timezones away - and seeing their response only the next day) #1 reason for the time lost is that when I leave a task/memo for someone and forget some important detail - I only learn the next day that the work has been on hold because the other person had been waiting for my response to their question.A possible solution would be an ML algorithm that analyses our previous communication and structure of the memo - and immediately asks me the questions that would most likely arise.My question to AI wizards: is this technically feasible in the current state of technology?

I would start with a checklist. All ML would really do is rank how likely questions on the list are to arise. So you can probably just make and look at the list.

No, just no. Have you ever played the game telephone? You&rsquo;d be doing that except you&rsquo;d have a clueless machine in the middle of the chain.

The answer is synchronized communication.Call the person and have a conversation.If they have questions or need more information, they can tell you and you can respond immediately.
