Imagine looking into a typical office. What do you see? Concentrated employees immersed in work? No way! According to the latest research, a third of office workers are imitating vigorous activity (IVA).

An organization called Workhuman conducted a survey among 3,000 office workers from the US and UK. The results? It's just a song!

33% of respondents admitted that they regularly engage in faux-ductivity. From imaginary filling of timesheets to imitation of mouse movements - the arsenal of a modern slacker is impressive!

But here's what's shocking: there were more managers who were masters of imitation of vigorous activity than ordinary employees - 37% versus 32%. And top managers broke all records - 38%!

That's why we create systems for automating office tasks. Your employees can drink coffee or read the FB feed while the system automates processes and does most of the work for you.

I was intrigued when I learned about Aescape, a fully automated massage table.

The contraption is equipped with two robot arms on each side of the table and will sit right at home in any sci-fi flick's medical examination room.

I wouldn't say it gives off zen vibes, but I was willing to look past the tech because it offers complete privacy—there's no other human in the room during your massage.

The company claims its robot massage table isn't meant to replace massage therapists but to fill a gap as the industry rebounds from the pandemic. “People age out of the profession on average in seven years, because it's just so hard on your wrists and lower back,” Litman says. “Talking to industry, talking to spas and hotels—their number one challenge is they can't meet the demand. This is an augmentation solution for a labor industry in crisis.”

"Chloe" was the first CyberLife perfected by Elijah Kamski, released in 2021.

As the first personal assistant built by CyberLife, she is designed to help humans with everyday tasks such as doing housework and making appointments. She is also the first android to pass the Turing test. By publicly passing face-to-face tests in 2022, Chloe ensured CyberLife's success.
