Three startups describe AI products aimed at predicting human behavior, carrying out customer-facing business tasks and preparing messages for use after a person’s death. Their stated plans and safeguards vary, and the article notes concern about the products’ effects on people.

  • 42AI says its model studies a person’s reactions across different situations to predict behavior; CEO Amit Gal Or said demographic and personal data such as names were excluded.
  • Orchid’s Keiki lets businesses connect existing tools and configure AI agents to handle customer interactions and tasks. The company described this as taking work off people’s plates.
  • Lebensstimmen lets people prepare farewell messages and funeral speeches for use after death; its CEO said messages require prior consent and the product is planned for launch in early 2027.
