I worked with (human!) interns and most of them did not require being watched in real-time.
Does stuff for you.

Using interns just as a source of cheap labour is exploiting interns!
Calling this "AI interns" is like saying "this is sub-par and neglects important aspects of your business".
But that is exactly the right way to think about it. If you have an army of sub-par workers that aren't going to think deeply about their value to your business, but are really cheap (relative to human labor) - how do you make effective use of them? Thinking about AI agents as being high-competence and able to learn your intent is the wrong model at this point. Though they can be high-competence in very specific narrow niches.

This is the first google result for "rare birds pg county" and many similar queries.
I prompted Kairos by text message: "What rare birds have been reported on eBird in Maryland's Prince George's County today?"
On the page above, I can see that a Vesper Sparrow was sighted (and confirmed) and a Common Yellowthroat was reported (but remains unconfirmed). I expect the Vesper Sparrow to be reported, as you ca
I'll anthropomorphize for brevity's sake.
Kairos fired up a chrome session. I can watch as it generates notes like:
- "Accessed eBird.org to search for Prince George's County, Maryland sightings", - "Need to navigate to county-specific recent observations for today's date", - "Will identify rare, unusual, or out-of-season species reported today"
This plan doesn't seem super promising, as there will be hundreds or thousands of bird reports in the county, and the rarities may or may not be on the most recent list. It seems to run into difficulty and generates a new prompt:
"Go to eBird.org and access the recent sightings for Prince George's County, Maryland for January 28, 2026.\n\nTry this approach:\n1. Navigate to https://ebird.org/explore\n2. Use the search or navigation to find \"Prince George's County, Maryland\" or \"Prince George's, US-MD-033\"\n3. Look for a \"Recent Visits\" or \"Recent Observations\" section\n4. Make sure the date filter is set to today (January 28, 2026)\n5. Extract ALL species reported today with their locations\n\nReturn the complete list of species observed today in Prince George's County with:\n- Species name\n- Location/hotspot name\n- Number of individuals (if available)\n- Observer name (if available)\n\nI need the full list to identify which ones are rare or unusual.""
Despite the training data almost certainly including discussions of the eBird rare bird alert feature, which is very popular, it seems to be reinventing the wheel.
Eight minutes in and it is now searching for today's lists from one specific birding hotspots in the county.
It's final text back to me had no rare birds reported today. It correctly reports that a LeConte's Sparrow was seen in Maryland, but it doesn't specify where. Ten seconds of googling shows it was reported on the other side of the state. More than a week ago.
It doesn't mention the Vesper Sparrow or Common Yellowthroat.
Most forms take 2-5 min and have the useful side effect of updating my mental state with important information about whatever I'm filling in a form for. If you want to replace that, the lowest barrier before it becomes useful is that someone else takes complete ownership of the task related to the form.
