In this episode, we dive into a groundbreaking framework called AXIS, designed to make human-agent-computer interaction (HACI) faster, easier, and more accurate. Traditional digital assistants often rely on step-by-step interactions, which can be slow and error-prone. AXIS changes the game by using APIs (application programming interfaces) to complete tasks more efficiently. The episode breaks down how AXIS works, including its design, skills, and testing process. Real-world experiments, such as using AXIS with Microsoft Word, show how it can improve productivity and reduce mental effort, offering a glimpse into the future of smarter, more intuitive digital assistants.
