crono’s vision is to build personal assistant agents for the information world. At Crono we are developing a platform for personal assistant agents
that utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automate multi-step web-based interactions and time consuming tasks for people. Crono will deliver
applications to internet users that will save them significant time, satisfy their preferences, and reduce information overload..

Our first product, built on our agent platform – Skedit, is a personal negotiator for meeting scheduling. Skedit agents negotiate meeting times on behalf of their users. They schedule meetings according to their user’s availability and preferences, with no wait time. Meeting scheduling is currently a time consuming process for many people, particularly when the meeting is large, or includes participants from different organizations. By automating the negotiation, Skedit is solving a significant problem and offering a completely new technology to the marketplace.

Other potential applications for personal assistant agent technology include travel assistant agents and price negotiation agents.
