Here are our most frequently asked questions.
What is an AI agent?
AI agents solve problems by taking an input (prompt, request or query) and taking action on them. These actions can be in parallel to you, which is a copilot, or independently and autonomously for you, which is an autopilot. For example, if the input prompt is "help me write a cover letter for this job application", a copilot agent will generate the first copy that you can then refine and send. From there an autopilot agent would write and send the cover letter on your behalf. There is a considerable amount of work happening behind the scenes for AI agents to work. AI agents are able to tackle much more complex problems and tasks vs. their assistant predecessors because of Large Language Models. Training these AI agents requires much more compute power than we've previously had until now.
What tasks can an AI agent perform?
There are generally two types of tasks an AI agent can perform – information tasks and action tasks. Information tasks could be research-related (eg. find all the books that relate to rainforests, what's the difference between fusion and fission, and what features do the most popular national parks have in common), where action tasks relate to completing a specific piece of admin related to an underlying skills such a travel, outreach or scheduling (eg. book my flight to NYC, contact this customer to see how they like our product, or move this meeting for me).
Are AI agents safe to use?
As with anything on the internet, user safety comes down to two things: 1) the company providing the service being incredibly diligent, and 2) the user’s diligence in ensuring it is a reputable company. With Ninja, we’re creating the safest possible environment – from security, to data privacy to ethical use of our AI agents. Our agents are trained on thousands of interactions and tested rigorously for ways to break them; they are trained to not engage in unethical content with or at the request of a user. Without user trust, AI agents won’t be able to achieve their potential as their efficacy is based on how often they are used. It is critical that NinjaTech AI and all AI-focused companies take user trust and safety very seriously.
How is AI changing the future of personal assistance?
AI is making agents more intelligent, capable, personalized, context-aware, and proactive. This is making AI-led assistance more useful and valuable to users, by taking on a wider range of complex problems thereby freeing up time for busy professionals to be more productive. With AI agents, we're pursuing artificial "nice" intelligence. This means that we believe the future of assistance is with a plethora of AI agents that are highly trained and specialized on certain tasks. This multi-agent future will see AI agents for an increasing number of problems and use cases, accessible through a personal AI like Ninja.
Can AI agents understand any language?
Potentially. AI agents cannot understand every language - yet - but they can understand many languages. AI agents are trained on massive datasets and code. However, these datasets haven’t been expanded to every language yet – but progress is happening!
How do AI agents learn over time?
AI agents learn over time by interacting with users and being exposed to new data. They use this feedback to improve their skills and perform better in the future. AI agents can also learn across tasks; for example there are commonalities between booking a meeting and booking a flight. As AI agents get exposed to more problems and learn which solutions are successful at solving certain problems. They can store these learnings and draw on them for future problems. It is also important to point out that these AI agents can actually learn from each other -- in effect AI agents collaborate with each other as they solve problems by drawing on their specialties.
Which companies produce the best AI agents?
There is no single-best answer, as it really comes down to the type of tasks being fulfilled by AI agents. The field of AI is rapidly evolving and new companies are emerging all the time with an ever-wider variety of tasks that AI agents are designed to solve. Put differently, the "best" AI agents will depend on each task being solved. Generally speaking, the best AI agents are those that can understand and respond to user requests in a comprehensive and informative way, even if they are open-ended, complex or the first-of-a-kind requests.
What is Ninja?
Ninja is an AI agent built to make professionals more productive by taking care of mundane time-consuming tasks. Supporting Ninja is a team of AI agents that are specialists at specific tasks such as scheduling, research, coding and writing. So in effect, Ninja has it's own AI workforce! Over time, we expect to add more agents to Ninja's workforce so that the spectrum of tasks that Ninja can solve is broadening and therefore saving you increasingly more time.
What does NinjaTech do?
NinjaTech is a conversational AI company focused on making people more productive at work. The company was founded by ex-Google, ex-Meta, ex-AWS leads.
How does Ninja work?
Using Ninja is easy! Just talk to Ninja through conversation like you would a human. You can interact with Ninja by typing or speaking. Ninja creates tasks, works on them, keeps track of them, and updates you as it makes progress. It’s that simple!
How do I get started?
You can start using Ninja right now! Go to myninja.ai and put in your first query in the next 10 seconds, it's that easy. We offer a free tier for Ninja so that users can get started right away, and for users that want to leverage it more we have a Standard, Pro & Ultra paid tier that offers more queries and access to the most powerful LLMs.
What skills does Ninja have?
Ninja saves busy professionals time by managing their mundane tasks just like a human assistant would. At the current stage, Ninja has primary AI agents (i.e. "skills"): First, Ninja can conduct complex research using web-based search results and top foundational LLMs from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. Second, Ninja can schedule meetings independently, including negotiations on your behalf to find the right meeting times. Third, Ninja can help drive your code development and debugging. And fourth, Ninja can act as an writer to help you create content and write like a pro.
How is Ninja different from other AI that exists today?
1. Availability accres channels: Professionals are regularly "on-the-go", meaning they need to be able to access their AI agent from anywhere. We're building Ninja to be available by typing, speaking or by having a voice call. In the near future, we'll expand the points of access to other channels.
2. Personal and empathetic: Ninja will learn about you as you use it. In particular, it will learn your preferences. For example: do you have allergies? It will learn this and ensure that it alerts a restaurant when making a reservation.
3. Asynchronous: Ninja's primary job is to get things done for you independently, to free up your time from mundane tasks so you can focus on your day job. Put differently, you can delegate to Ninja so it can take things off your plate.
When is Ninja available to the public?
You can start using Ninja right now! Go to myninja.ai and put in your first query in the next 10 seconds, it's that easy. We offer a free tier for Ninja so that users can get started right away, and for users that want to leverage it more we have a Standard, Pro & Ultra paid tier that offers more queries and access to the most powerful LLMs.
How much will Ninja cost to use?
The Open and Free tiers have no cost to our users. The paid tiers offers three monthly subscription options for $5, $10 and $15 per month, depending on available AI models and features. For users that are excited to lock in the maximum savings, they can sign-up for a 1-year subscription which offers a 30% discount.
What types of GPUs does NinjaTech AI use for training and inference?
NinjaTech AI is leveraging Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) purpose-built machine learning (ML) chips Trainium and Inferentia2, and Amazon SageMaker, a cloud-based machine learning service, to build, train, and scale custom AI agents that can handle complex tasks autonomously, such as conducting research and scheduling meetings.
