HyperWrite, a generative AI startup, has unveiled a tool that can act as your very own personal assistant, browsing the internet for you and completing tasks.
Need to order a pizza or those shoes you’ve been eyeing? This Chrome extension claims it can do it for you.
HyperWrite’s CEO Matt Shumer demonstrated how it works by posting a video demo on Twitter.
‘Today, we’re unveiling Personal Assistant @HyperWriteAI’s groundbreaking AI agent that can use a web browser like a human,’ said Shumer in the post.
‘It’s time to reimagine the way we interact with the internet,’
The video shows HyperWrite navigating to the Domino’s Pizza website, placing an order and even looking up an address and zip code to complete the transaction.
While Shumer describes HyperWrite’s personal assistant as a ‘the world’s most advanced AI personal assistant’, it’s still in its early stages.
According to the CEO, users can just describe what they want it to do, and it will automatically operate Chrome to achieve the task. This includes booking flights, ordering food, researching complex topics and managing your email.
While it seems like a useful tool that can save users a lot of time, experts are worried that the software’s human-level skills could also be ripe for phishing, hacking and other cyber scams.
‘We recognize the immense power and responsibility that comes with developing AI Agents and are committed to handling it responsibly,’ said Shumer.
The CEC has promised that HyperWrite’s Personal Assistant won’t be launched publicly until they’ve ‘figured out the best way to deploy it responsibly for everyone’.
In the coming weeks and months, the company will be ‘implementing filters, red-teaming, and seeking feedback to make sure we get this right’.
‘But we can’t make Personal Assistant safe without seeing how people use it. To make that happen, we’ll be providing select users with early access over the coming weeks. This will allow us to gather feedback and make safety improvements before a wider release,’ said Shumer.
