If you could teach a bot/assistant to do one thing for you, what would it be?

Hi all - Nick from Lexico here.

The question is in the title, but really I was hoping some of the creative minds here @ IH could help me out with the following:

If you could teach a bot/assistant to do one thing for you - at work, home, anywhere - what would it be?

I'm really captivated by the idea of talking to a bot - the same way you'd talk to your assistant or colleague - and have it perform tasks to help with your job and your daily life.

Some things that have been thrown up so far during exploration:

  • creating and emailing invoices to clients
  • checking in with your team on Friday afternoon to record their availability in the following week
  • creating builds/releases in a CI/CD pipeline and sharing results
  • generating contracts/documents from templates
  • recording what you eat and putting it into a food diary
  • tracking gaming stats via Discord to find favourite maps/weapons/etc

If there's anyone willing to take it a step further - our (fairly rudimentary) beta is live at the moment, hooked up to Slack and Zapier.

I was hoping a few people would volunteer 15 minutes of their time for a screen-share and walkthrough. There's a Starbucks voucher for anyone who would be so kind :)
