Shortcut

PHIL: Alex.

ALEX: Phil.

PHIL: What are you working on?

ALEX: Still working “Backup Support.” What’s new?

PHIL: The Boss wants me to develop a new AI that will allow us to compete with Alexa, Siri, and Google Home.

ALEX: Oh, ouch. So you’re putting in a lot of overtime, then?

PHIL: Not particularly. I thought I was going to have to, because it turns out there’s a lot of groundwork involved in developing an AI from scratch. But I don’t need to do that. We have a shortcut.

ALEX: We do?

PHIL: We do.

ALEX: Do I want to know what it is?

PHIL: Not particularly.

BINKY: Hi!
