AI assistant
Automated conversational aid
An AI assistant is software that uses artificial intelligence to help users with tasks, answer questions, or hold conversations.
The term covers a range from simple voice-activated helpers like Siri or Alexa to more sophisticated systems capable of extended dialogue and complex reasoning.

The assistant framing emphasizes the tool's role as helper rather than replacement.
