Shivani Poddar, a former engineering lead at Google DeepMind, has launched an AI agent called Fo through her startup Wajo. The agent can make phone calls, send emails, book services, and process payments. If it cannot complete a task, it escalates it to a human. In 104 real-world tests, Fo completed 71% of tasks, outperforming OpenClaw’s 42%, and passed 94% of safety checks. AI and crypto news continues to highlight rapid advancements in autonomous systems. While interest rate developments remain a key focus for traders, AI tools like Fo are gaining traction in everyday operations.
ME AI message: Wajo, founded by Shivani Poddar, former engineering lead at Google DeepMind, is primarily promoting its personal AI agent, Fo. Fo can make phone calls, send emails, book services, and process payments on behalf of users. If Fo cannot complete a task on its own, it directly escalates it to a human assistant to finish. For example, when contacting local businesses without APIs—such as barbershops, personal trainers, or small retailers—Fo will have a human assistant make the call, communicate the user’s needs, and complete the task. The human assistant receives only the information necessary to accomplish the task and does not have access to the user’s full chat history. Wajo also conducted self-tests on 104 real-world tasks, each repeated three times. Without any human fallback, Fo achieved a 71% task completion rate, compared to OpenClaw’s 42%, representing a 69% relative improvement. In a separate security test designed to detect whether the AI would contact others without authorization, leak private information, or make unauthorized decisions, Fo passed at a 94% rate.
