This new AI assistant makes AI easier for people 65+ — no app or prompts required

Senior with phone.

AI assistants can plan vacations, offer productivity support and help organize your day. First, however, you need to choose one, download the app and figure out what to ask it. For those who've already left the workplace and aren't on their computers all day or simply don't want the hassle of logging into an app, "Ask Proxy" is helping to remove that learning curve.

The new personal AI assistant works entirely through text messages and was designed in part for baby boomers who are curious about AI but don’t want to learn how to write prompts. Once it gets to know you, Proxy can even text first with reminders and suggestions based on what is happening in your life.
