Meet Amelia, a gorgeous software program which can learn things in a minute and help you for a life-time.

Amelia is an artificial intelligence created by IPsoft that can learn and understand things and interact with humans. (I think this is the closest we’ve gotten to the Samantha in the movie Her.) When I say that Amelia is a technology that will assist us in day to day tasks and also provide some sort of company, the first thing that might pop up in your head is Google, Siri, Assistant, Cortana and the like.

But no, Amelia is not a program that hunts for keywords and looks it up in a database. She is a learner. She is intelligence. She looks into the meaning, the semantics of what you say and she is even designed to understand your emotions.

She can manage tasks from financial services and energy to telecommunications and media, IPsoft claims. The amount of information she understands and can process in a few seconds is amazing. It’s like most science fiction films. (If you have watched Superstar RajiniKant’s Endhiran or Robo, you’d know how the robot gobbles up information from bulky books in a second!) Whatever she has learned, she retains it and applies the knowledge to situations that demand it.

With the ability to speak 20 languages, she can cover a wide range of people. She can provide help in the form of Service Desk Support where she can receive inquiries from troubled customers and sort out the issues. In case she is not able to do so with her knowledge, she can call a human aid for assistance. But the special part is that she will learn this now and use it later.

She can help in Procurement Process and become the hottest person in Supplier Management. She can also be used as an Expert Adviser for Field Engineers. “Imagine an engineer trying to fix a pump on an oil rig in the Bering Sea. Wearing a hazard suit and without the convenience of having an iPad or a laptop on hand in order to look up detailed technical information the engineer can turn to Amelia for help.” Says the Brochure of Amelia.

You surely must check out a few videos that shows Amelia in action. She definitely does respond to emotions well. She talks just like your peer, she winks at the right time, she pouts for the right things and reacts how you want a person to.
