AI-assisted personal assistant with human co-pilots
Overview
Duckbill Technologies runs a subscription-based personal assistant service for busy adults and families. It uses a hybrid 'human-in-the-loop' model where an AI platform called Bill handles initial research and planning, while human co-pilots execute tasks needing nuance or direct contact. Members submit tasks via an app, text, email, or voice memo, and the Duckbill team delivers completed work across categories like scheduling, repairs, and errands. The goal is to make life admin easier and more manageable by combining AI with personalized human support, backed by $33 million in Seed and Series A funding to grow.
