The big idea
You can't find your favorite toy. An AI agent could play 20 Questions with you — when did you last see it? What were you doing? — to help your brain remember.
Some examples
- 'Was it at home or somewhere else?' narrows the search.
- 'Were you eating, playing, or sleeping?' helps you remember.
- 'Have you checked under the bed and behind the couch?'
- If you say 'I checked everywhere', the agent suggests new spots.
Try it!
Lost something? Ask an AI agent: 'Help me find my X by asking me questions one at a time.'
