DESCRIPTION
A presentation on a type of agent, I call a "personal assistant" and a specific vision of how those agents might allow for processes that cross organizations, and for processes that emerge from the interactions of knowledge workers.

Personal Assistant Can
Receive and screen notifications – filter the spam for relevant notifications.
Task Introduction – find offered tasks, gather additional information
Task Acceptance – sending a notice back to the sender. Clone Project –automatically retrieve all the accessible. Determine the Template –and start the process if necessary. Synchronize – in both directions. Transform Data – access the taxonomies that give the
semantic meaning of the data, and use that to transform the data to a suitable form while synchronizing
Summary
In the future we might see
personal assistants interacting
with other personal assistants,
cloning & synchronizing
projects, and the large scale
processes emerging from that
interaction.
