Lots of stuff in life are async in nature though. An always on agent / bot can respond to those and handle things that are simple enough to handle. Simple example is booking a dentist appointment. Email, wait for response, find time on the calendar etc. I don't need to be in the loop for each step and I don't want to have to keep checking myself.

Same thing in the development world. I need to do something when version x of some thing gets released. If I can instruct a bot to do it and it's safe enough (e.g. read only), then why not.
