speculative smart tool theme
There is a tool of some sort that, without being intelligent or sentient in the traditional sense, performs complex tasks that would be on par with or beyond the cognitive ability of an ordinary human.
Notes
This is generally not used when full fledged, sentient, AI is involved.
Examples
In nightgallery1x02b "The Little Black Bag", former MD William Fall comes across a medical kit from the distant future. In this kit there is a device that diagnoses ailments and suggests remedies, as well as a smart scalpel that cuts only to the precise depth that is required of it and that can steer its wielders hand to some extent.
