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.

report a bug, get help, propose an idea, or provide additional

Provide Innovative Desktop Search

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

you provide, CALO will also add useful information for an upcoming

thinks might be
valuable for you as you prepare for an upcoming meeting, seminar or
conference.
