Fawzi noted that IntelePeer's most recent analytics engine and dashboard demonstrated how AI enhances the customer experience by guaranteeing consistent and precise responses to queries while eliminating call holds.

Double | September 18, 2023
Double, the versatile remote assistant service designed to cater to the needs of executives, has recently introduced Mingo. Mingo, an AI-powered delegation companion, is tailored for the hectic schedules of executives and their remote assistants. Leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, Mingo ensures that crucial tasks are recorded, distills essential details from requests, and offers suggestions for the next steps to be taken by the assistant. With Mingo in their toolkit, executives utilizing Double can allocate their focus and energy to critical bottom-line responsibilities, knowing that their assistants possess all the requisite information to execute delegated tasks with precision.
Mingo's debut comes at a moment when a staggering three out of four executives grapple with heavy workloads and an acute shortage of time to tackle top hurdles in their professional duties. While productivity applications and recently launched AI assistant services are available, they often fall short of providing the personalized attention, contextual understanding, and nuanced support that executives typically receive from human assistants. Double aims to bridge this gap with its AI-enabled executive assistant approach, empowering executives to enhance their productivity and significantly impact their work hours.
Even the most skilled executive assistants, along with well-intentioned executives, occasionally contend with vague task parameters, resulting in multiple follow-up discussions that impede efficient execution. Recognizing this common challenge, Double developed Mingo to streamline communication and maximize productivity. Mingo's intuitive, always-online AI technology operates in real-time to gather task details, facilitating seamless hand-offs to executive assistants. The platform proactively prompts executives with clarifying follow-up questions, enabling them to anticipate needs in advance and safeguard their precious time by reducing unnecessary back-and-forth exchanges.
Beyond its benefits for executives, Mingo also elevates productivity for their assistants. Once an executive submits a request through the Double app, Mingo proactively generates suggested next steps and recommendations, bolstering the efficiency of executive assistants across all tasks. Mingo achieves this feat by drawing from a comprehensive knowledge base encompassing best practices and how-tos related to various executive assistant tasks, amassed from decades of combined expertise in productivity and delegation. Mingo can even expedite an executive assistant's work by offering research assistance, writing support, and insights on harnessing AI more effectively in their tasks.
Double's innovative solutions empower executives and their assistants to achieve more without compromising their work-life balance or risking burnout. The company has recently expanded its offerings to cater to entire leadership teams through its Double for Teams program. Double remains dedicated to delivering new products and services that prioritize human-centric support, further cementing its commitment to revolutionizing the future of work.
