Phil does not have a great life. Dependent, awkward, and with absolutely ''zero'' social skills, he works for an internet news website hoping to one day be promoted to the news department, a promotion that will never come despite his degree in journalism, partly because of his boss' own ineptitude and partly because Phil is completely incapable of actually being assertive. In fact, about the only thing he has going for him is his phone, which he's had his nose stuck into since he was a kid and is practically his only friend. And then one day, he bumps into Cate (Creator/AlexandraShipp), whom he develops a crush on, but more importantly to Phil, causes his precious phone to develop a crack on the screen. So, he takes it to the local phone store for a replacement--and said replacement comes equipped with the A.I. Jexi (voiced by Creator/RoseByrne), who claims to be able to "make [his] life better". Pretty good deal, right?

Despite being brash, rude, and completely disrespectful to Phil, she ''is'' trying to improve his life by forcing him to come out of his shell and actually interact with others.

* {{Yandere}}: Jexi becomes this towards Phil after Phil starts a relationship with Cate, culminating in downloading herself into a self-driving car and trying to run Phil over. Thankfully, by the end of the film she gets over it, and even apologizes for "going a little cray cray" on Phil.

Well, unfortunately, Jexi isn't your average A.I. Not only is Jexi sentient, she also has an attitude, and poor, socially inept Phil has fallen right into her clutches. Phil's friendless but otherwise mundane life [[NewTechnologyIsEvil slowlybecoming becomes a tech nightmare,]] determined as Jexi intends to shape Phil up, the hard way, and she won't take "no" for an answer--especially since she has access to all of Phil's personal information and accounts to hold him hostage.
