Spiffy here with the scoop on the entrepreneurial leaders of Planet Earth. As the only interplanetary journalist stationed on this blue planet, I’m thrilled to present this galactic exclusive with Alice, the founder and CEO of re:collect AI. Let’s learn what’s happening at re:collect AI and how Alice is making a positive impact in the world.
Spiffy: Thanks for joining me, Alice! Tell me, what challenge are you addressing through re:collect AI?
Alice: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! At re:collect AI, we're equipping humans with the ability to do better creative thinking and decision-making.
Spiffy: Interesting! What motivates you to do it?
Alice: I think that humans are amazing and that we can augment their abilities with the technology we have today and what we'll continue to build into the future.
Spiffy: What is the impact of your work?
Alice: We're still in the early days of building our product at re:collect. But, for now, we're helping knowledge workers access their memories and synthesize their ideas.
Spiffy: Thanks for speaking with me today, Alice—it’s been an honor!
