Use AI + personal data + sensor data to suggest patterns or correlations in my life that may be helpful or harmful

Remind me of birthdays and prompt me to keep me in touch with people

Quiz me on subjects I am learning

Suggest meals based on what is in the pantry

Keep my shopping list up to date

Remind me of paperwork, bills and other deadlines

How these would actually work in real life? AI + data seems a data scientist job, not really something a virtual assistant could do. For meals & shopping list it would need physical access to your fridge no? For bills and paperwork also physical access is needed, right?

Sorry, I thought a virtual assistant was like Siri or Alexis. A home automation assistant.

I think at this stage I'd ask one to track certain people down and daily nag them to get back to me.

That's facetious. I'll have to give it some thought
