Asmi AI: A Personal Assistant That Makes Phone Calls and Handles Real-World Chores
By
Rishi Raj
A bagel that needed a few more minutes. And maybe a fact-check.
Summary
Asmi is an AI-powered personal assistant that handles real-world chores requiring phone calls. Founded by Rishi, who previously built India's largest home appliances company ($500M revenue, $100M raised) and worked at Flipkart, Asmi calls users every morning to coordinate tasks. It can call services (dentist, salon, plumber, bank, insurance) or people (friends, colleagues) to book appointments, resolve issues, or coordinate. The AI can navigate IVR systems, wait on hold, and handle complex conversations, then updates users via iMessage or WhatsApp when tasks are completed.

The problem hit me on a Tuesday. I had 12 things to do. Not hard things. Not creative things.
Every single one needed a real phone call - hold music, IVR menus, 'your call is important to us,' the works.
