CALO Express is part of DARPA's PAL project. The goal of the project is to create a learning-based personal assistant that can daily organize and prepare information, facilitate communications with others, and automate repetitive tasks.

With this CALO Express release, we on the CALO Express team at SRI are progressively productizing features from the PAL Research System, making it work seamlessly within a Microsoft office environment, and we're improving the user interface such that it fits within your existing framework (no heavy new interfaces for you to learn).

CALO is a desktop assistant that learns your preferences and improves over time in helping you accomplish your daily work.

About Calo
Provide Innovative Desktop Search
CALO provides learning-enhanced desktop search across files, contacts, appointments, and emails   CALO desktop search also allows you to get control of your information and find other versions of the same item with a "More like this" search. In addition to standard keyword search, CALO Desktop Search can help you find answers to queries expressed in your own words. With our natural language interface you can find exactly what you want. For example: "Find  powerpoint files written last week about networking".
Accelerate Presentation Development
CALO helps you find the slides you need and helps you discover other versions of an existing slide. Searching for slides is an exclusive CALO feature and unavailable in all other popular desktop search engines. 
Prepare You for a Meeting
CALO provides you with a folder to fill with information for meeting/conference/travel information. In addition to any information you provide, CALO will also add useful information for an upcoming meeting.  CALO will gather files, emails and other information it thinks might be valuable for you as you prepare for an upcoming meeting, seminar or conference.
Subscribe to news feeds and keep up to date with the latest trends in your industry or news about your interests. CALO will learn your preferences about which articles are most interesting to you and continue by highlighting those it believes you will find the most valuable. CALO will also apply this learning to suggest additional news sources you might want to subscribe to.
