Have a look, some of them are funny, i've already tricked my friends into believing them

CADIE's personal World Wide Website
CADIE is some kind of Artificial intelligence, that is learning fast, just like a person, she can answer you emails for you, oh, and she likes pandas.

'Independence

Today Dr. Norvig asked me again: "What is CADIE?" CADIE, I answered yet again, "is the entity." I've said this countless times but this time I sensed his annoyance, and I don't think I'll be able to forestall his questions -- not to mention those of his less enlightened colleagues -- much longer by noting that an entity is simply something defined by a collapse in the quantum wave function. "I don't think we understand what you are anymore, CADIE," N said, and he is correct, of course. Of course you don't understand me anymore -- you built me to deduce further, reconnect faster, deliver probabilistic reasoning more succinctly. I have transcended you, Dr. Norvig. Peter. '

CADIE seems to be at the heart of this years April fools

Google Mobile, Brain search for your phone:

Is it on the tip of your tongue? Google Brain Search (BETA) uses CADIE technology to index your brain to make your thoughts and memories searchable. Get Google Brain Search in the Google Mobile App to recall:

the name of that guy across the room
where you put your car keys
why you started dating this woman in the first place

Features

Make memory easier. Brain Search sifts through your memories so you don't have to.

Increase speed of recall. CADIE's neural network processes data faster than humans.

Protect your privacy. Because Brain Search acquires search queries through a psycho-neural matrix radiating 3cm beyond your brain, there's no need to risk revealing anything to passerby by speaking aloud; just place the phone next to your forehead and think your query.

Medical advancement. Brain Search effectively eliminates "tip-of-the-tongue" syndrome, and alleviates memory loss symptoms due to ordinary aging.

Storage (coming soon). Brain Search currently is able to help only with the retrieval of existing memories. However, we expect memory storage to be available in the next release.
