Virtual Assistant Lets Common Man Convey Swill en Masse

You know those casual-sounding recorded calls that say you should refi your house? Now you too can act like you don’t have time to make calls yourself.

Eidoserve presents Abby Me, who does all the dirty work for you. Punch in the number of who you want to call and write a whimsical message. Seconds later a pleasant but eerie female voice will call the receiver from your number and repeat what you scribbled out. It’s sure to irritate everyone you know and make you feel more important than you are.

Abby makes good with simple phrases like “Hello, I want to have your babies” but not so well with $10 words like “Supercalifragilisticexpialidoceous.” Well, an assistant who at least tries to convey nonsense with a straight face is always a keeper. Best of all, she doesn’t charge anything. Why can’t most interns be that awesome?
