Milan, 28 May 2026: ROSS, the new artificial intelligence agent from Fastweb + Vodafone, has been launched. This solution aims to make people's work easier by reducing the burden of operational and organizational tasks. This frees up valuable time that can be devoted to more strategic tasks that require greater concentration and creativity.
Developed by NextMindLab, an innovative Italian start-up wholly owned by Fastweb Spa, ROSS represents a paradigm shift in the world of artificial intelligence tools. Unlike other AIs that merely answer questions or generate content, ROSS is a true personal assistant that can understand user requests, transform them into concrete tasks, and carry them out on their behalf. It can independently manage emails, organize calendars, conduct in-depth research, draft documents, create websites in just a few clicks, monitor relevant news and plan complex activities. With long-term persistent memory, ROSS can learn and remember each user’s preferences, priorities and specific context over time. This enables it to continuously improve its ability to support the user, anticipating their needs and adapting to their way of working.
Security and privacy are two of ROSS's key features. Its language models and infrastructure are located in Italy and comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation and the European AI Act. Data from conversations with ROSS is never used to train AI models, whether they are proprietary or third-party. Privacy is also guaranteed by the complete segregation of storage spaces: each user has a private, dedicated environment, separate from those of other users. You can request the complete deletion of all data used and uploaded at any time and without restriction.
The AI technologies and solutions that define ROSS are designed to adapt to a range of needs. Thanks to a simple and intuitive interface, there are no technical barriers and the cost is affordable.
ROSS is available at heyross.ai, where you can choose from three pricing plans tailored to different professional and personal needs. These range from a basic solution, which is ideal for those who are just beginning to explore the potential of AI, to a comprehensive package, which is designed for those who want to simplify their daily tasks, organize their time more effectively, and make the most of the assistant’s features.
"With ROSS we are not talking about yet another artificial intelligence hype race, but about a technology designed to be concretely useful in people's daily and working lives. ROSS is the AI that doesn't just respond: it truly acts. Having created a spin-off allows us to move quickly, listen to customers on a daily basis and transform real needs into concrete products. We believe that the future of artificial intelligence does not belong only to the big tech giants, but also to startups capable of innovating with responsibility, transparency and vision." Stated Giovanni Germani, Head of AI at Fastweb + Vodafone.
