Remember JARVIS? Tony Stark’s ever-present, hyper-intelligent AI, seamlessly managing his life, his suits, and even his quips. For years, it felt like a distant sci-fi fantasy. But here’s the thing—as someone who’s been building the future of voice AI as a Software Development Manager on the Alexa team, I can tell you we’re closer than you might think.

But what if the next leap isn’t just better smartphones, but something entirely different? I’m talking about a paradigm shift where the interface melts away, and truly intelligent, proactive AI becomes our primary digital companion.
