Google and Twitter execs invest in Alltius: What's behind the appeal of this generative AI assistant startup?
Generative AI assistants have broad development prospects and significant market potential.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsIn the AIOS era, natural language interaction will become the primary form of human-machine interaction. As the main entry point for natural language input, intelligent assistants are expected to evolve into a key traffic gateway connecting people with everything—amplifying scenarios and ecosystems. This convergence is likely to drive explosive growth in both the variety and volume of smart devices.
This year marks a turning point, as digital natives move beyond omnichannel experiences and increasingly rely on AI-powered virtual assistants to deliver new levels of personalization in fully digital environments. Gartner predicts that by the end of 2024, consumers and enterprises will spend $500 million on virtual personal assistants.
Alltius is a U.S.-based generative AI assistant developer. As a no-code SaaS support tool, it delivers customized solutions across industries such as finance, insurance, education, and human resources, serving as a guided assistant for every team. The company is shaping the future of SaaS product support through its AI-driven conversational platform.
01Under the Information Revolution, AI Agents Face Both Opportunities and Risks
On March 24, 2023, OpenAI launched its Plugin feature, demonstrating early capabilities of an AI assistant:
1. ChatGPT Plugins can access up-to-date real-time information, offering timely functionality akin to a "search engine";
2. ChatGPT Plugins exhibit service-oriented awareness, helping users with everyday needs such as online shopping, hotel bookings, and restaurant reservations;
3. In the workplace, they play a more pronounced "assistant" role—helping with programming, data visualization, and analysis. On its official site, ChatGPT demonstrated functionalities such as recommending restaurants and ingredients, and successfully generating orders. Plugin integration is extremely convenient; users can link to other program functions via natural language commands, signaling the early emergence of an AI-era "operating system."
Sudipta Biswas, co-founder of Floworks, commented on AI assistants: “An AI assistant can interact with various software tools used daily by knowledge workers—such as Gmail, Google Calendar, or Salesforce. Users can simply use plain natural language to instruct these applications to complete tasks. Most importantly, the goal is to enhance employee experience with AI assistants, not replace them.”
AI assistants help users obtain needed information faster, optimize personal and work processes, and offer personalized recommendations. However, they also raise concerns about privacy infringement. Over-reliance on AI assistants may weaken human autonomy and judgment. Moreover, model performance and accuracy depend heavily on training data. If training data is limited or inaccurate, generative AI assistants may fail to produce reliable responses. These models require access to user data to generate answers, which could lead to privacy and security risks if improperly protected or misused. As AI assistants advance, such issues must be addressed.
