Planned

Yaku

An embedded assistant in the style of Yak. People say what they want, and it completes the action inside the product.

The idea

Most product UIs still ask people to click through menus. Yaku explores an embedded assistant that takes a plain request and finishes the action inside the product — less chat, more completion.

What we’ll test

Whether people prefer saying the job to doing the job themselves, which actions are worth automating first, and how much trust is needed before they let an assistant act.
