I don't get it either. I even sat down to try it out and see what it's all about, but I can't think of a single thing in my life that I want an agent to automate.

Summarizing news? No, I'd rather just read it. Besides, it's hard to say what will or won't be interesting at any given moment.

Reply to emails? No, I want to make sure I say what I mean to say and I don't see why I would tell the whole story to an LLM just so it could rephrase it all.

Trade stocks? Dear God no! That's a good way to lose my life savings, and if the solution is to just put in a little then what's the point?

Every video and post I see talking about all the things they have automated with agents are things I would never want. Most of them describe content farms - look at what's hot on Twitter, generate a video, post to Reddit, etc. Others like preparing a morning summary are neat and all but so what? If my life was so hectic that I needed a personal assistant to take my calls and book my meetings, I'd hire one.

Seriously, what is the thing that agents can do that every ordinary person just can't live without?
