But what would a perfect day look like in the future? Whom would you drink your summer beverage on the green grass or watch the latest blockbuster with? Are you sure it would be a human? We imagined how a day could go down in the company of the technology that will know you best in the future: an artificial intelligence-based little digital assistant, your very personal chatbot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Alice, my dear, it’s time to\nget up!\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The sunshine gently caresses your face as you open your eyes. The soft tunes slowly reach your ears and consciousness when you realise that you are listening to Enya’s classic hit, Only time. You sit up in your bed and cast a glance at the Alexa-like small device that’s smiling at you from the corner of your bed. When the gadget senses that you turned your head to it, it stops the music. It chose Enya from your list of favourite morning songs especially because you matched it with light, summery mornings a year earlier – such as this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“\u003Cstrong>Morning, Alice, how are you feeling today? I woke you up at 7.37 because you were very tired last night and your activity, sleep, and fitness stats showed me that you need some more rest. But don’t worry, you won’t be late for your 10.25 meeting, and I have already ordered the Uber to pick you up at 9.45\u003C\u002Fstrong>.

This way, you could also get enough time to have a shower and prepare for the day with a healthy breakfast,” said the chitty-chatty device in a tone resembling mostly Alice’s mom. The voice was also adjusted after one time Alice mentioned how much she misses her mom living across the country, in Nashville.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Happy\nday flow, smiley face calculated\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>After Alice wiped her eyes to fully wake up and started to comprehend what the chatbot is telling her, she moved out of bed and took a shower. She asked the gadget to tell her the most relevant pieces of news and switch to an entertaining morning show, although it was almost unnecessary. \u003Cstrong>Before her commands left her lips, the chatbot already calculated that this will be one of her requests – as it is part of her morning routine – and the skillful mechanic creature already calibrated the perfect amount of local, international, and entertaining news for her perfectly adjusted to her taste and interest.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Later on, at the breakfast table, the chatbot offered a selection of some tasty and healthy choices based on her \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fwhy-is-nutrigenomics-the-biggest-flop-in-digital-health\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">nutrigenomic data\u003C\u002Fa>, eating, and fitness habits\u003C\u002Fstrong>. After months of analysis, it turned out that it’s healthier for Alice not to eat gluten for breakfast, as her stomach would be more in tune with the universe without bread in the early hours, thus the chatbot recommended yoghurt, gluten-free cereals, and some fruits. Alice happily took the choice and she smiled feeling that her day had started off very well. After finishing breakfast, she also took the Uber to the meeting place. Her philosophy in life was mostly ‘go with the flow’ anyway, but with the chatbot’s brilliant advice, she relied on the happy flow more and more often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Happy\nrun flow, perfectly timed bank robberies\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Alice had an easy-going, light morning, and had\npositive thoughts about the day that was unfolding around her. And the chatbot\ncould even make running better for her. If there was something that she didn’t\nlike – that was running. Putting one leg after another without a clear purpose\nother than the miles taken, this was something out of her universe.
