"Poppy then uses that data along with AI to guess what's important to you right now based on what's going on in your life. At a high level, this means you can open Poppy's app or glance at its widgets to see the meetings or tasks you have on your plate."
"For instance, if Poppy has access to your calendar and sees that you have a 30-minute gap while you're near a park, it could suggest you take a break and go for a walk before your next appointment. And if you're planning a brunch with a friend who mentioned their food preferences in a previous communication, it could factor in that information when suggesting restaurants."
"You can also message Poppy with questions or requests, almost as if you had a personal assistant working on your behalf. Poppy can track your flights and alert you to changes, or nudge you when it's time to take your medication."
""I've always been interested in challenging what computers are able to do, especially the idea of ambient computing and computers that can proactively sense what you need and anticipate your needs," Kambampati told TechCrunch."
Poppy is an app designed to reduce smartphone distraction by combining calendar, email, messages, and other sources into a single dashboard. Users connect services such as email, calendar, and location, and Poppy uses that information with AI to infer what matters right now. The app can show meetings and tasks through the main interface or widgets. It can also make proactive suggestions, such as recommending a walk during an open calendar gap near a park or using prior message preferences to suggest restaurants. Users can ask Poppy questions and request help like a personal assistant, including tracking flights, alerting to changes, and nudging medication times.
