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.
