Former Google DeepMind engineering lead launches Fo:AI Can't do it? Call in a human
Dongcha Beating AI Flash: Wajo, founded by former Google DeepMind engineering lead Shivani Poddar, is promoting its personal AI Agent AI Agent, Fo. It can make calls, send emails, book services, and make payments for users.AI Tasks it cannot handle on its own are transferred directly to human assistants for continued handling.
For example, when contacting barbershops, personal trainers, or local businesses without API, if Fo cannot handle it itself, it has a human call the business, communicate the user's needs, and complete the task. Humans receive only the information needed to complete the task and cannot directly view the user's full chat history.
Wajo also conducted self-tests on 104 real-world tasks, with each task repeated 3 times. No human fallback was used in the entire test. Fo's task completion rate was 71%, compared with 42% for OpenClaw, with the former approximately 69% higher. Another safety test specifically examined whether AI would contact others without authorization, disclose private information, or make unauthorized decisions; Fo's pass rate was 94%.

Key points
01
Shivani Poddar was formerly an engineering lead at Google DeepMind and founded Wajo.
02
Fo can make calls, send emails, book services, and make payments for users.
03
AI Tasks it cannot handle itself will be handed over to a human assistant for further processing.
04
Wajo used 104 real-world tasks for self-testing, repeating each task 3 times.
05
In tests without human fallback, Fo's task completion rate was 71%, while OpenClaw's was 42%。
06
In another set of safety tests, Fo's pass rate was 94%。
07
The human assistant will only receive the information needed to complete the task and will not directly see the user's entire chat history.
AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Fo is a personal AI assistant that can handle tasks such as calls, emails, ordering, and payments. If it encounters a barbershop, personal trainer, or local business that does not have API coverage,AI it cannot complete the task on its own and hands it over to a human assistant.
Why it matters to readers
It combines AI automated processing with human assistance, covering some offline service scenarios that do not have API coverage.
Fo can be understood as an assistant that “AI handles things first, with a human taking over the complex parts”; the completion rate and safety data reported come from Wajo’s self-testing.
Risks and unknowns
The completion rate and safety testing have not yet been independently verified.
