As important as we all (think we) are, we can’t all afford to have assistants scheduling our lives on our behalf. Not human assistants, at least. But thanks to the rise of the machine, your busy life might’ve just gotten a little more manageable. Meet Julie Desk, the artificial intelligence-powered virtual assistant that organizes your meetings. Because you already have to spend your time going to these things — at the very least, you shouldn’t be wasting your time scheduling them, right?

Launched in 2015, Julie Desk promises to simplify and humanize your relationships to technology (and other people) by automatically managing all the available information required to go about your day-to-day life. Thanks to her AI “brain,” Julie is able to plan and organize the events that take up precious time during your day. It can create or cancel events, and even send invitations to those involved. And thanks to its learning algorithm, Julie adapts itself to your habits, so the more you use Julie, the more familiar she’ll become with your scheduling preferences.

Moreover, the AI system’s natural language processing capabilities allow Julie to process and generate emails in a way that doesn’t sound so, well, robotic. And thanks to its machine smarts, Julie can learn about your commute times, your preferred meeting times and spots, and more, to ensure that you’re always scheduled for events when you want to be.

To use Julie Desk, simply copy in julie@juliedesk.com and the bot will jump into action. Once the AI has been looped into the email thread, it’ll take care of everything, from communicating with other meeting attendees, to scheduling, to picking a location. But don’t worry — you’ll always be kept in the loop.

So if you’re curious about what Julie Desk might be able to do for you, you can check out a free two-week trial at www.juliedesk.com.

Google Photos now lets you search for text in your images
google photos

Google Photos has long been the go-to cloud photo service for many, and it's now getting a new feature that makes it even better. The service already allows you to tag aspects of an image so that you can find images later and group them together, but now it'll allow you to search for photos based on text in those photos. So, for example, if you take a picture of a document, you'll be able to search for that photo later despite the image not being tagged with that text.

The new feature leverages Google's experience in artificial intelligence, and essentially allows Google Photos to scan your images for text. You can use that text too -- once you find the photo you're looking for, you can use the Lens button to copy the text, after which you can paste it into a word processor or other app to use later.

FaceApp says it won’t hold on to your face photos. Should you trust it?
faceapp neural net image editing featured

If you use FaceApp, you've given its parent company permission to use your face photos for pretty much anything -- even though the app-maker says it won't use them for nefarious purposes.

FaceApp responded to concerns about its terms of service, which grants the company complete control over images run through its filter. The company told TechCrunch it typically deletes user photos within 48 hours and doesn't share user data with third parties.

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards
Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.
