mattshumer unveiled an 'AI employee' product for SMBs (somethingbig.ai) that you work with over email: you assign a job like emailing a subordinate, and it emails back the finished work.
Key capabilities:
- Has its own computer and browser, works on any website and keeps running after you close yours
- One-click Gmail/Outlook integration to read your inbox and reply on your behalf
- Calendar integration for scheduling and moving meetings
- Automated follow-ups at specified times
- Keeps notes across jobs so you never explain context twice
