Sara by i-Dispo: Siri, but useful<\/h1>\n

Sara, while surprisingly similar to Siri in name, specializes in being a practical personal assistant for the 21st century businessman. With its “click-to-book” feature, it allows you to schedule meetings at any time with professionals around you via its search engine. The product’s purpose is based on providing individuals quick access to answers to their everyday questions: “what’s the cheapest tablet?” or “Sara, can you contact by car insurance to renegotiate my contact?”
