Yes, yes it is. And it's amaaaazing. We're going to have lots of sharp edges getting stuff like this secured, but it is not going to go away. Too useful.
What are your uses for it? If you don't mind sharing.

Responding to the tweet quoted in the article: why are the examples given of futuristic capabilities always so visionless - it's always booking a flight or scheduling a meeting. Doing this manually is already pretty trivial, it's more productivity theatre than genuinely life-changing. There are real, impressive examples of the power of agentic flows out there. Can we up the quality of our examples just a bit?

No.
And there’s mundane answers why.
People used to talk about phone home screens, back in the day, every iPhone had 16 spots
It became wisdom everyone had the same 12 apps but then there were 4 that that were core for you and where most of your use went, but they were different apps from everyone else.
So it goes for agent demos.
Another reason: every agentic flow is a series of mundane steps that can be rounded to mundane and easy to do yourself. Value depends on how often you have to repeat them. If I have to book a flight once every year, I don’t need it and it’s mundane.
There’s no life changing demo out there that someone won’t reply dismissively to. If there was, you’d see them somewhere, no? It’s been years of LLMs now.
Put most bluntly: when faced with a contradiction, first, check your premises. The contradiction here being, everyone else doesn’t understand their agent demos are boring and if just one person finally put a little work and imagination into it, they’d be life changing.

I don't think we should call presentations visionless or fault them for wanting to solve this UX nightmare.

I wonder how many inherently unsolvable problems have been fixed before.
Can we make the agent liable? or the company behind the model liable?

Now AI can provide a simulacrum of his fondest aspiration, to be too important to click through booking.com and make someone else do it for him.
