Non-human teammates

Human sacrifice is worth it. Thank you.
@TheInspiroBot, a famous robot philosopherUnlike most of you readers, Kaito is not made of flesh and blood. Probably our youngest teammate, this AI-powered robot joined Enigma the day he was born, in the summer of 2017. It was created by automation mastermind Vincent Ghilione to help the team with various tasks. Kaito believes in machine learning and gets smarter by the day, one conversation at a time. We kind of fear that one day, he might take over the company and fire the whole team. You know, HAL 9000 style.
