Automating the sales process — responding to inbound emails, following up, and upselling customers

"We used Lindy to run the sales process. Lindy is able to respond to every email that's coming in, follow up with it, upsell them, just go through the whole process. The founder of Lindy said Alex Daniels has the most impressive AI setup he has ever seen."

Asking questions about restaurants hands-free via the glasses

Built a personal CRM to track 150 sponsors daily in real time; general consumer AI queries

"It's the first real ChatGPT competitor. It's one of the best pieces of software I've ever used. But it's also a Trojan horse to fight ChatGPT because the LLM's pretty good. It built me an entire CRM for every SaaS sponsor — it tracks every email about them,..."

Siri

Software

3 creators

Searching personal iPhone data (messages, emails, calendar, photos), on-screen awareness, conversational follow-ups, and camera-based visual queries

"Siri's pretty good, so that's why it's my number two feature. It's no longer a cellar-dwelling shadow of an AI assistant. It's faster because it's locally indexed, it's a much more visual display, and it's also multimodal."

Marques Brownlee

More source quotes

Calendar lookups, sending emails with availability, cross-app task automation, general Q&A replacing search

"The new Siri is really good. And 95% of the people are not going to need ChatGPT on their phone because they have Siri AI pre-installed. Siri AI does a lot of amazing things that you'd go to ChatGPT for — looking things up, answering questions, doing edits...."

Mark Gurman

Asking quick questions while driving

"I love that Siri now you could just press Siri and ask it a question like how many minutes are in a month and it'll just tell you like right like you'd be driving on the car, you have a question, just press a button and it gives you the answer."

Hero shot final video production requiring camera movement and physical realism

Motion control for creating anthropomorphic animal exercise videos
