Click looks at personal assistants as Spencer Kelly gets an AI secretary to schedule his meetings. Dan Simmons investigates potentially unhelpful and perhaps unintended consequences of having personal assistance in your home. They look at the economic impact of the platform "controlling" the marketplace and the consequential impact on competition.
