## What Jamie wrote

Totally agree with Doc Searls on this. I have some "bots" that work for me, and they are ridiculously helpful. They don't sell it this way, but [Sanebox](https://www.sanebox.com) is a lot like a bot for my email. Unfortunately the majority of bot investment is for corporations, not people.
