This is something I ll find out in just a short while, one week from now (Jan 28), as I m about to re-launch a digital detox app. If you want, follow, maybe you will be on watch of my steps and activities
Note-taking apps are a solid addition to any productivity suite and can do wonders for your information-storing capabilities. The purpose of note-taking is to ensure that you can capture the essence of a set of information so that you are not burdened with memorizing everything words by word. What is your go-to tool for note-making? Mine is Apple notes, especially after the new update!
Every launch I see is about agents, orchestration, reasoning chains, autonomous workflows, then I open my own chat history w/ claude and it s all about chores (task support), and almost nothing regards agentic workflows. it is mostly small text chores I could describe in one sentence.
I don t think that s a failure of imagination on my part, and I don t think I m unusual. People (including I) use HUUGE models to do irrelevant tasks, that's like asking stephen hawking to sort out your monthly expenses' PDF.
Honestly, I sometimes feel a bit of internal pressure or even fear that if I miss something, it will be hard to get back into work, especially because I m strongly embedded in tech.
And you can see it when you disconnect for 2 or 3 days and don t follow the news, you feel mentally better, but at the same time you start losing that sense of overview that feels quite important for your career.
One thing I've been thinking about while building tooling for AI agents is that a budget and a cost estimate solve two very different problems.
A budget tells you what you're willing to spend. A prediction tells you what a task is likely to cost. Neither guarantees that the task will finish within that amount.
