I thought we were miles away from building something like this because of so many complex parts involved
1. State of the art speech to text generation ( Shout out to Whisper here )
2. State of the art question answering ( GPT-*, LLama, etc..)
3. Integration with your virtual life ( emails, music, finances etc..)
1 & 2 have definitely shown significant progress. the major bottle neck right now is 3. Most of our virtual life is centralised and no one provides a clean API such that we can actually have a holistic view of everyone's digital persona in one place. And last but not least, privacy and security is super important considering we are giving the total access to a bot. Am I missing anything else? Would like to see some healthy discussion on this topic
also ChatGPT can write code for an api pretty decently
