[Former Google Jules Engineering Lead Creates Fo: AI Can't Handle It, So Humans Step In] Beating AI Newsflash: Shivani Poddar, former Google Jules engineering lead, has founded Wajo, which is currently promoting its personal AI agent, Fo. Fo can make calls, send emails, book services, and process payments on behalf of users. For tasks that AI cannot handle, it will directly hand them over to human assistants for further processing. For example, contacting hair salons, personal trainers, or local businesses without APIs—if Fo cannot manage these tasks itself, it will have a human assistant call, communicate needs, and complete the task. Humans will only receive the information necessary to complete the task and will not have access to the user's full chat history. Wajo conducted internal testing with 104 real-world tasks, repeating each task three times. Without relying on human intervention, Fo achieved a task completion rate of 71%, compared to OpenClaw's 42%, making Fo approximately 69% more effective. Another set of security tests specifically examined whether the AI would contact others without authorization, leak private information, or make unauthorized decisions. Fo achieved a pass rate of 94%. [Original Link]
