An AI assistant is a software tool powered by artificial intelligence that helps you accomplish tasks through natural conversation. You talk to it (or type to it), and it responds, helps, creates, searches, summarizes, and executes tasks on your behalf. Think of it like a knowledgeable collaborator that’s available 24/7.
