Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer the future. It is becoming the present faster than you can say MTV.

I’m Listening:
- I am going to a wedding and need shoes.
- I see from your Inbox that you have a wedding in Turks and Caicos in August. It is described as beach formal. Is this the wedding that you are asking about?
sources: Gmail.com, Google Calendar, AccuWeather.com, Evites, The Palms Hotel - Yes.
- From my research, beach formal is typically dress pants or khakis and a button down shirt and flip-flops. Are you comfortable with wearing flip-flops?
sources: Pinterest.com, WeddingDivas.com, wikipedia.com - Yes, but I don’t really want to.
- In August of 2014, you purchased a pair of White Converse Chuck Taylors from Zappos.com. Would those work?
sources: Visa, Gmail.com, Zappos.com - Those might work, got any other suggestions?
- Pale leather brogues are in style this summer. Roll up your pants a little and that could be a good look.

- I like that, socks or no socks?
- The photo included show the models without socks, and I personally think the look would be better without socks.
source: Google Cloud Vision API - My feet sweat so I need socks.
- Alright, then I think we have it figured out. Here are suggestions for the wedding, and where to buy them.
