Extra Dialer Pro 3.0 Beta 5 Released [BetaNews.Com]
Abstract: Software sends a voice message to a large group of people, and gives them the option of replying.
Product: Home Assistant that helps manage your schedule and appointments based off a set of rules and/or hueristics that you have set up, as well as by learning from your behavior. It could then keep your lights on at appropriate times when you are on vacation as well as answering the phone and forwarding messages to you, again, based on said rules. Something similar was depicted in both The Mote in God's Eye and The Gripping Hand, with each such assistant named by it's owner.
Addendum: By using a common interface between the various data types that this would handle, you could add a lot of functionality and share info between tools. How would you define the mark-up for it though? It is far more than a datebook, though it uses that functionality for handling who it calls. You could have it looking at a set of tables in order to work it's magic, but minimizing redundancy across tools is an issue, as is insuring proper sharing... Time to do some research.
