The AI wrote the Chinese messages that got his lost phone back

On a trip to Chaozhou, China, he lost his Android phone and does not speak Chinese. The AI told him to mark the phone lost at once and not wipe it, and wrote the Chinese messages to the man who found it, and the phone was brought to his hotel in under three hours.

How it works

  1. Finds the phone missing and checks its location with Google Find Hub
  2. Asks the AI what to do
  3. The AI says mark it lost now, do not wipe it, and writes a Chinese note for the finder
  4. The finder contacts him on WeChat
  5. The AI writes Chinese replies asking for a photo of the phone and a place to meet
  6. The hotel front desk talks with the finder by voice message
  7. The finder brings the phone to the hotel

Why it’s worth knowing

He could not say a word to the man who found his phone. The messages the AI wrote for him, in Chinese, were enough to prove the phone was his and get it carried to his hotel.
