Do you know where the name for our fancy new AI assistant, ADA, came from? It's a shoutout to a total rockstar in tech history: Ada Lovelace.
Do you know where the name for our fancy new AI assistant, ADA, came from? It's a shoutout to a total rockstar in tech history: Ada Lovelace.
Back in the 1800s, when most people thought equations were just for lads, Ada was out there crushing math and science. (Her dad was a famous poet, but hey, she carved her own path!)
She teamed up with this inventor named Charles Babbage who was working on this crazy machine called the Analytical Engine – kind of an early computer. While Babbage was all about the nuts and bolts, Ada saw the bigger picture.
She wrote a bunch of instructions for the Analytical Engine, basically showing how it could do more than just crunch numbers. This groundbreaking work makes her the world's first computer programmer! Pretty cool, right?
Even though computers back then were like giant calculators, Ada totally saw the potential for them to do amazing things – music, graphics, even stuff like artificial intelligence! We're talking like, way before anyone else even had a clue.
Ada's ideas are what paved the way for the awesome AI tech we have today. There's even a special day, Ada Lovelace Day in October, to honor all the amazing women in science and tech.
The icon for our ADA assistant is actually a modern take on Ada Lovelace's portrait. It's a way to remember her and keep her innovative spirit alive. Just like Ada saw the future of computers, ADA is all about using AI to revolutionize property management for landlords.
So, next time you use ADA, remember the amazing Ada Lovelace who helped make it all possible. The future of intelligent automation is here, thanks in part to this history-making lady!
