The AI fixed my client's computer problem while I stayed in bed

A client problem came in by email. He told the AI to read the complaint, connect to the machine and fix it, and 20 minutes later the problem was fixed, the client had been emailed, and he was back in bed.

How it works

  1. Tells the AI to check his email for the problem complaint
  2. The AI connects to the client's machine and fixes the problem
  3. The AI sends an email to the client

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent did not just explain the problem. It read the client's email, connected to the machine, fixed it and emailed the client back, all in 20 minutes.
