Artificial intelligence (AI), other pattern matching, and predictive technologies, are also proving to be beneficial as organisational and calendar tools for many businesses - with Apple's Siri and Google Assist, even increasingly creeping into offices, where efficiency and speed of everyday operations, is as important as having access to information at your fingertips throughout the workday.
