Virtual Assistant Socks
Description: Ask Jeeves was a character-driven search engine that was founded in 1996. Ask Jeeves featured a well-dressed butler who supposedly fetched search results and was able to understand questions posed in everyday phrasing. Natural language processing is still tricky for developers of virtual assistants today, so this was a pretty lofty pre-Y2K goal, to say the least. Ask Jeeves lasted until roughly 2005, when it was rebranded as Ask, but ultimately ended its foray into search engineering in 2010.
