Looks clean and all, but is this “multitask on steroid” actually requested, or is it just another nice demo for how agents can perform tasks etc? I just feel stressed that I have multiple tasks ongoing that I would require to switch context between every time anything needs input or fails to deliver what I fundamentally requested.

This seems to be the wet dream of mgmt leader types. It's not enough that AI/LLM tools make tasks more efficient, or quicker - it's their people can then be just as busy with these tools.

My feeling is: buzz off, this is like orgs now where the quickest people just get more work piled on for little gain.

I gladly use tools that give me some breathing room, and gives me some time to think about improvements, the future, etc. But will actively drag my feet if mgmt starts mandating these tools be used to shovel more tasks, tickets, or busy work at me.

Agreed, and I guess we can only pray that I won’t come to that.

I want the tools to enhance my current workflow and make me better/more accurate at what I am good at. I feel that develops me as a person as well.

In other words a case for the "Intelligent Workspace":

In lieu of chatbots as the primary means of working with AI.

This is an approach that is human centered and intended to accommodate a wide array of possible use cases where human interaction/engagement is essential for getting work done.

Incredibly weak to not seize the opportunity to name this «Mangentic» :D

There’s room in the world for a startup whose tech lets AI agents request tasks be done by a human.

Upon a request being sent, one human from an army of anonymous humans gets given say, access to the agent’s browser that’s stuck, plus a description of what to do (“finish booking this flight, here’s what my user asked of me”). And they do the job and click “completed” which hands back to the agent, then move on to their next assignment (or go idle in a queue)

Dystopian, but bound to happen.
