One more Digital Personal Assistant seems to wanna join the rest of our Assistants that we embed in the SaaS we build.

Learning Assistant will soon be part of Education Cloud PLUS and it will help you find the exact courses you need to learn in order to enhance the skills you say you want to develop.

The purpose here is not to create another sophisticated AI like we have for Ranking Vision AI or the AI system in Squirrly Social.

No.

The reason we’re building and giving this new Assistant is to help you easily assess your skills and easily find what you need to learn right now in order to improve those skills.

If users manage to get a certain low score – then take the quiz – get the recommended courses – then take the quiz again AND obtain a much higher score, we will consider that our Learning Assistant did its job perfectly.

This recommendation engine is not built for entertainment, and the instructors will know exactly which scores require which courses to be studies in order to improve those scores.

We build our Digital Assistants because it is the Squirrly Company’s core belief that technology has the purpose of making our lives easier.

The purpose of technology as a whole is to help the human user achieve A LOT MORE in A LOT LESS TIME.

This is very opposed to apps who try to suck you in and consume all your time. (and potentially leave you with mental health issues or various dissorders).

The ways in which our technology helps our user vary in many regards.

Some things that we want to help the user with (or to help the user achieve) can be with very sophisticated sets of algorithms, machine learning, big data, complex servers and worker systems.

The purpose of our technology is to “assist” our user and help them achieve more in less time. It is NOT to make the Squirrly Company look smart, or cool, or to impress the press and other parties.

We will not over-complicate things, and based on our 20%-80% Core Value (Pursue the 20% that Brings You the 80%), we will do our best to help our user with the simplest model possible which achieves the desired results for our user.

I am presenting our Assistants, because I believe that every tech entrepreneur should RE-THINK the ways in which they are building the whole Customer Experience, not just UI and UX.

Great Digital Assistant will even replace the need for

• training materials
• customer success teams

We have Assistants that replace the need for doing tons of calculations on your own, or doing research and finding sources on the web. We even have assistants that use some of our features on your behalf, while you sleep.

Technology and pieces of tech can be made to do a lot more for users.

Sometimes, people will build features for users and that is nice. But there could be small bits of the entire SaaS that actually use those features in CLEVER ways ON BEHALF of the customer (the user).

Make it easier for users.

Use whatever the tech has access to and do more for the user.

Assist.

Sometimes assistants are just collections of data that would take months or years to master and they are given back to users, just so users can “plug and play” without needing to become masters themselves.

For example:

The Learning Assistant.

A user could very well take a quiz. And see a score of 2 out of 10.

Then they could browse a collection of 40 courses on Education Cloud PLUS to find out which one of the courses would help them (AT THEIR LEVEL) achieve a higher score and would help them build up their mastery.

Well…. maybe they would find a course that would seem good, but given that they scored 2 out of 10, it could mean that the course is way to advanced for the user AT THE MOMENT.

And they should start with a lighter reading first. With something for beginners.

It would take a user a while to navigate all this and figure out all this.

Out of 10 users, maybe 8 of them would just simply quit the whole thing, because it’s too tedious and doesn’t seem fruitful at all.

So why not help all 10 of them?

• It’s very easy for us.

We can’t stay and not do anything for them, just because it’s not usually done.

Our tech can offer them the assistance they need. Our tech knows they scored 2 out of 10. It can “figure out” that the user is a beginner in regard to the SKILL that our quiz was testing.

Therefore, our tech can “deduce” it needs to offer one of the Beginner-Level courses that we offer WHICH helps them build up THAT particular skill.

The way in which we implement this is not important at all.

What the tech can do for the user and what it needs to do for the user is a lot more important than HOW can the tech accomplish this?

Does it (meaning: what we have in mind as a potential solution right now) solve the user’s problem?

Does it help the user do A LOT MORE in a LOT LESS time?

— yes, it does. The Learning Assistant helps the user easily identify the next course to take that will build up their skills, mastery and quiz grade super fast.

Do you know how many human assistants work in stores all over the world just to assist customers in choosing what book to read, or what gift they should buy?

• our Learning Assistant will do something very similar to those.

Our Digital Assistants don’t need to be high tech. They need to be great assistants and help the user.

This is a very low tech example of a digital assistant that replaces the need for having a human assistant.
