Hire the bot, babysit the bot?
Kairos: AI interns for everyone
AI interns that log in and click for you — but users say they still need babysitting
TLDR: Kairos debuts an “AI intern” that logs in to your apps, fills forms, schedules meetings, and handles refund emails after a one-time screen-share lesson. Commenters are split between privacy gripes and “subpar intern” jokes, with many saying babysitting kills the time savings, while a few think it’s safer than other bots.
Meet Kairos, the self-styled AI intern that promises to click through your chores like a junior assistant. It has its own browser, can log into your accounts, fill forms, and extract info. The pitch: teach it once by sharing your screen, then let it review job applicants on Greenhouse (a hiring site), schedule 30‑minute interviews, scan your inbox for “refund” emails and reply per policy, and even book time via Calendly. Kairos swears you approve every app connection, can watch it in real-time, and your data isn’t used to train them.
The crowd? Spicy. One commenter slammed the “give us your phone number to demo” gate as an instant buzzkill. Another dragged the branding: calling them “interns” just admits “subpar” results. The biggest fight: if you have to literally watch the bot work, where’s the time savings? A user quipped that their human interns “did not require being watched in real-time.” Skeptics doubt any one AI can “do everything” before AGI (human-level general smarts), while a few defenders shrugged it’s probably “safer than other bots.” Meme energy hit fast: “hire the bot, babysit the bot,” and jokes about an intern that needs supervision to send calendar invites. Will Kairos clear your inbox—or become another thing to manage?
