In my opinion people are fixating a little too much over the automation part, maybe because most people don't have a lot of experience with delegation... I mean, a VP worth his salt isn't generally having critical emails drafted and sent on his behalf without his review. It happens with unimportant emails, but with the stuff that really impacts the business far less often, unless he has found someone really, really great
Give me a stack of email drafts first thing every morning that I can read, approve and send myself. It takes 30 seconds to actually send the email. The lion's share of the value is figuring out what to write and doing a good job at it. Which the LLMs are facilitating with research and suggestions, but have not been amazing at doing autonomously so far
You might be right, but not for long. Once my agent is interacting directly with your agent (as opposed to doing drafts of your work on your behalf), expectations will shift to 24/7 operation.
This is uncharted territory and very interesting.. We humans live with a strong requirement of reputation management which shapes the way that we do things.
Once we have agents openly do things on our behalf but not in our voice, it will be interesting to see how of subpar performance or bad etiquette gets accepted just because agents don't have an individual personal reputation to maintain
