The 2030 Consumer | EP 4: AI-Enabled Personal Assistant for Digital Chores? ft. Naman & Varun

What if your assistant never sleeps, never forgets, and could handle a dozen tasks at once?

It’s not just your phone setting alarms or playing songs. We’re talking about a real AI super assistant: one that can handle tasks that usually take up your time.

Booking appointments, making reservations, coordinating with vendors…in other words, things that normally require a human assistant. But the challenge has always been cost and scalability. A human can do it reliably, but only for a few clients and at a high cost.

With AI, the same work can be done faster, cheaper, and for many more people. On the latest episode of The 2030 Consumer, Varun and Naman discuss how AI concierges could transform productivity and personal assistance.
