CALO: Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes
Whatever happened to CALO? Apparently this. Has anyone used any of these applications? DARPA spent $150 million on this. It looks like a lot of hype to me. The main CALO homepage obviously hasn't been updated in a while -- even the copyright at the bottom says 2008. The most recent academic publication on their publications page is from 2005.

Otherwise, I do not know anything.

I see no talk about putting it to work for organizing file systems. Do you? That’s where most of my data resides, as files and folders, and I could use some help organizing it. Files shouldn’t need to be “managed” with a “file manager” at all. They should be there where you want them to be – you set up the rules or use the smart defaults – and let the system figure out where to put them and how and where to present them to you.

You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the paintings you write. The sector hopes for even more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to say how they believe. At all times go after your heart. “We are near waking when we dream we are dreaming.” by Friedrich von Hardenberg Novalis.
