I worked for a large grocery store chain between 2004 and 2010, there the AI had already taken over. Though we didn't call it an AI, just 'the system'. The system was able to procure goods with stunning accuracy. Sometimes it

This is why I think it is critical for a founder to do customer support for as long as possible. It should also be the last thing that is outsourced (or better: never outsource customer service!). Customer feedback is the most valuable reso

Not sure about iOS, but with Android you can create exceptions for selected contacts in the do-not-disturb mode. I've added my family members to that exception list, and leave the phone on do-not-disturb mode 24/7.
