Assistants for Everyone - Fancy Hands Meet Donna, Your Mobile Personal Assistant From Khosla-Backed Startup Incredible Labs Don’t have a “custom-designed, one-of-a-kind bespoke app… to communicate and collaborate” with your assistant through? Hell, don’t even have a personal assistant? Well, that’s all about to change, thanks to a wonderful new mobile application called Donna. Donna is a mobile-based personal assistant from a funky little startup called Incredible Labs. And according to “Incredible” co-founder and CEO Kevin Cheng, it “she” wants to help make sure you get to all your meetings on time, thanks to a combination of design and data. Life without Donna My first-ever meeting with Kevin, about a year ago, was a total mess. If only I had Donna way back then. What’s in a name? The West Wing’s Donna Moss It’s that anticipatory nature that helped get Donna its her name, and helped define what Incredible Labs ended up building. There are lots of personal assistant names they could have gone with — like Alfred or Jeeves, for example. How Donna works An “Incredible” Team The next frontier of personal productivity
TaskRabbit | Your tasks, done. Personal Styling And Retail Platform For Men Trunk Club Raises $11 Million Personal Styling And Retail Platform For Men Trunk Club Raises $11 Million Personal styling and retail platform Trunk Club has raised $11 million in Series funding led by U.S. Venture Partners with Greycroft Partners, Apex Venture Partners, and Anthos Capital also participating in the round. As we wrote in our previous coverage on Trunk Club, the startup pivoted from being a way that men could hire their own personal shopper via Skype video sessions to building a group of professional stylists on staff who coordinate with clients via phone and email, and actually purchase goods for clients from retailers. A gentlemen can sign up via the website, pick preselected looks, and answer a small questionnaire with questions like “where do you shop right now?,” “what’s your favorite item in your closet,” sizes, price and color preferences and more. Once the customer receives the order, he can try on the items and send back the clothes he doesn’t like in a prepackaged box.

Penny Is A Chat-Based Personal Finance Coach Have you ever wondered why being financially responsible can be so difficult? Maybe it’s because most money management tools are too complicated and overwhelming for the average user. Penny, a new personal finance app, is fixing this by giving users personalized financial advice via a simple chat interface. As soon as you open the app for the first time, Penny starts talking to you, almost as if you were just texting your banker. Even the traditionally tedious process of linking your bank account to a new app is done by just chatting with Penny. After your account is tied to the app, you can talk to Penny and ask her to do thing like show how much you spent on food in October, or show you a graph of your income vs. spending over the past two months. Penny also will push out information to you, doing things like reminding users how much they spent this week on food, etc. One downside with Penny is that users can’t just type requests.
