Gluru - The AI personal assistant App that wants to supercharge your to-do list
by Startacus Admin
Startacus has recently been spending some time looking at and writing about AI related Startups..
Next up is London-based AI startup Gluru, a smart to-do list that uses deep learning and natural language processing to help you identify your to-do tasks, even suggesting the answer.
A to-do list is an entrepreneur’s...well, maybe not best friend, but a good friend with a great memory, who reminds you to do stuff. They help us organise our thoughts simply, focus on what is important, and keep us productive. (They have been a big part of our previous articles about tools to aid productivity and even tips on how to end your working day.)
But with an entrepreneur’s mind going a mile a minute, we can sometimes omit important tasks that come back to bite us when it’s most inconvenient to our schedule. That is where London-based App Gluru comes in.
Winner of 2016’s AIconics Best AI Startup, Gluru is a smart to-do list App that uses deep learning and natural language processing to watch your email conversations and your calendar (not in a creepy way) in order to identify possible tasks. Gluru says that the AI strives to understand what you want to accomplish and suggests the next action you should take to further that goal. As well as flagging up tasks that need your attention urgently, Gluru learns from the way you use it and will automate the tasks that you repeat most often.
Though Gmail and Google Calendar are the only supported tools currently, other sources of data such as Slack, Outlook, Alexa,
Dropbox, and more are coming soon, meaning Gluru could quickly become an integral part of the suite of tools we use daily, perhaps even as a complement to other AI related apps such as myAlfred, which we wrote about recently.
Gluru launched in late 2015, after two seed funding rounds totalling $3.5m, and is an active AI startup that delivers practical functionality rather than the promise of such in the future or simply novelty. We like the look of it a lot.
