If you’ve trusted a small AI startup with your email and calendar, this is your reminder to export your data now and keep a plan B for any assistant that hasn’t been around long. This is another example of early-generation AI companies shutting down and dropping their user base.
I heard about some businesses that, early on, embraced other companies for customized AI services and built their own businesses around that integration. When the AI service providers shut down, those companies were left high and dry, needing to find another provider, drop the integration altogether, or build it themselves.
While I would never say “too big to fail,” a safer bet would be to go with larger, more established companies or ones that haven’t gone all in on AI. But that is a lot to ask. It’s an interesting conundrum. If your family calendar doesn’t sync anymore, try a more mainstream option.
