When people ask: “what personal tasks do I need an agent for?” I think that it is because they think of automation as a simple regular task for the AI. But frontier AI is now really good at helping with irregular, draining tasks: a medical bill, a credit dispute, tedious forms… Life is full of things that, by complexity or design or lack of care or required time, are hard to navigate: healthcare, government, personal finance, school forms are all among them It is why I feel consumer AI is underrated. People muddle by, but need help than they can't get.
