A lot of these tools aren't going to have this kind of value (for me) until they are operating autonomously at some level. For example, "looking at" my inbox and prepping a bundle of proposed responses for items I've been sitting on, drafting an agenda for a meeting scheduled for tomorrow, prepping a draft LOI based on a transcript of a Teams chat and my meeting notes, etc. Forcing me to initiate everything is (uncomfortably) like forcing me to micromanage a junior employee who isn't up to standards: it interrupts the complex work the AI tool cannot do for the lower value work it can.

I'm not saying I expect these tools to be at this level right now. I'm saying that level is where I will start to see these tools as anything more than an expensive and sometimes impressive gimmick. (And, for the record, Copilot's current integration into Office applications doesn't even meet that low bar.)
