I can't think outside of the box or see the forest for the trees, so my thinking buddy would point out if there's a better and/or easy way to solve problems, remind me of things I need to do, and keep me on schedule. I would name him "Mycroft," and he would speak to me in Mark Gatiss' voice and be just as snarky as he was on "Sherlock." I wouldn't care if I had to pay extra for copyright and/or royalties. It would be freakin' WORTH IT!
