Absolutely. AI is really good at single tasks of specific types. For example, it's great for organizing your emails, or creating filler content for a website, or helping suggest responses for customer support people. And sure, it did an amazing job creating code for a Google spreadsheet so I could easily scrape radio websites for their competitions and win festival tickets for the seventh year in a row. But in all these things it's incredibly one dimensional, and still needs a human to guide it. People come to my demo calls thinking that AI agents are fully possible and capable. Nope, not yet.
