GLaDOS Personal assistant
I am honestly not sure if anyone has suggested this or not, but I would be surprised if no one has made the suggestion in the past.

I think it would be absolutely awesome if Valve made an online personal assistant (like Siri, Hey Google, Alexa and Cortana) with all the helpful information that an algorythim like that can bring to the table... But, with GLaDOS' personality, mentality and attitude!

(Also, it would be awesome to make the male version of this assistant have Cave Johnson's voice, personality, mentality and attitude!)

I would dump every other PA I have tested in a heartbeat if Valve came out with something like that!

Child, if you can't bring something useful to the table... Keep your mouth shut. I am not here for an argument, only suggestions.

No way. I don't want to get murdered by deadly neurotoxin.

Always a great start to a discussion thread.

Anywho, Apple's Siri is based on Wolfram Alpha's algorithm. Google on its evolved search engine. They took YEARS to be where they are now and are regularly updated. Valve is known to bring out half-assed features which they forget about pretty quickly.

... and who wants a personal assistant that constantly mocks you and wants to kill you? "Hey Glados, can I still eat that four week old leftovers?" "Yes. ... Unless you don't plan to spend the next week in a hospital in agonizing pain. By the way, your mother-in-law has birthday next week. I know ... it's a hard call."

Right. Fine. You want to do this.

Child is not an insult.

This is for the steam platform, not for cosmetics you want. So you shouldnt even be posting here.

If what you suggest is for Steam, then I have to say no thanks, we do not need more bloat in the client.

Yes, we need this! Especially for the Big Picture Mode.

It's been suggested many times, yes.

I don't know why you'd want her personality as an assistant since her personality is being unhelpful.

In addition even if you find her jokes funny, they will cease to be such after you've heard them 25 times.

Child was not supposed to be an insult... Only an observation.

I don't think this should be a feature inside Steam. Like Alexa and Cortana it should be a stand alone app for mobile devices. Similar to, but not part of the Steam app made for iOS and Android

Additionally, I personally think the unhelpful and antagonistic attitude of GLaDOS would be perfect for a personal assitant. Her personallity and attitude are EXACTLY why I think she would be the greatest PA possible!

Nah, it feels like wasted potential.

If Valve bothered to put in the effort, I would want to see nothing less than a spiritual successor to Paper Clip Bro, the decorated hero and undefeated Space Cadet Pinball champion of Windows XP.
This might make a fun little standalone app. Like BonziBuddy except instead of installing malware and being strangely creepy, she simply hates you in amusing ways.

you certainly came off as arrogant and rude, no matter how you twist it

Its like saying calling you an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is not an insult, just an observation (sorry for the swearing, just wanted to illustrate how much this statement of yours doesnt hold on its legs).

btw may i remind you that this is a forum, not your personal soap box so try and have some decency
