The promise of smart devices, smart tools and even smart homes alleviating the daily grind of everyday life has been promised to us since the dawn of science fiction all the way through today. Having a virtual assistant help us get through our lives was a distant possibility since we couldn’t really let them into our lives to see what we needed help with. The eras of 5G and IoT and the connected world they bring is changing that. Yohana aims to be at the forefront of this new connected lifestyle by helping all of us finish our never-ending to-do-lists and finally find time for what matters.
In this episode of The Restless Ones, we sit with Yoky Matsuoka, Founder and CEO of Yohana. After a storied career as a professor and key roles at Google X, Nest, and Apple, Yoky has decided to focus her lifelong passion for problem solving to help solve the most common of all: getting tasks at home done so we can find more time for ourselves and our loved ones. We’ll hear how she’s combining sensor-based hardware, artificial and human intelligence, and more to bring users the timely, relevant, and informed help they need to navigate busy work faster and prioritize wellness in all its forms
