Autonomous has created a new version of its AI Intern, a plug-and-play AI super-assistant that physically sits on your desk. It uses multiple AI models to work on every task you can imagine, using OpenClaw and Hermes, and selecting from models like Opus, Sonnet, Deep Seek and Qwen.
Called Intern 2, it promises to handle jobs like social media posts and everyday scheduling and admin – but will even work on more involved tasks like coding. You can leave it to run on its own schedule – handy when you're away or working to another time zone overnight. And it works locally, rather than in the cloud. To communicate with it, you can text or talk.
I should state from the off that this will be problematic to creatives worrying about jobs in the AI age (especially at its marketing of the difference between a co-worker and the device being it "works unlimited hours" – I think we can all agree an actual human would bring more to any role than a computer). But its description will likely entice anyone feeling they're at capacity without the means to hire an actual intern or small team.
