virtual assistants
AI-powered aide software
Virtual assistants are software programs that use voice recognition and artificial intelligence to perform tasks or answer questions for users.
Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa, and Google Assistant are the most widely known examples, responding to spoken commands to play music, set reminders, or control smart home devices.
The term also refers to human workers who provide administrative support remotely, handling tasks like scheduling, email management, and customer service from a distance.
