“Hey Siri, ask my business”: answers in seconds, without opening a laptop

The problem

The answers already existed in the business's systems: how many files went out this week, what's next on the calendar, what is waiting for a signature. Getting them meant unlocking a laptop, opening the right screen and filtering. For someone running a business from the car or between meetings, that was too slow.

What I built

• Ask out loud — Siri, the iPhone Action Button or a double tap on the back of the phone; it keeps listening for follow-up questions
• Answers from the business's own data — client and job statuses, counts, deadlines and who is out today, never invented
• A morning brief in under a second: yesterday's numbers, upcoming deadlines, the day's calendar and what is waiting on you
• Calendar that knows the time — at noon it says what's next first, then what already happened; “Am I free Friday at 2?”
• It prepares, you decide — tasks, reminders, client texts, letters, email replies and meetings are drafted; nothing happens until you tap Confirm
• Email replies land in Outlook Drafts, written in the person's voice, with outside addresses flagged before sending

Security, because the data is confidential

Results so far

It's new, so I won't invent adoption numbers. Measured so far: answers in 2 to 5 seconds, the morning brief in under a second, and a cost of one to three cents per question. The same approach works for any business whose answers are spread across a CRM, a calendar and an inbox.
