Next step: AI agents that do tasks for you
Once you use an assistant every day, an agent can take over whole chores: summarize your inbox each morning, research and build a table, save attachments to a folder.
Start with an agent that has a free option and low setup difficulty, give it one small task, and check its work for a week.
