LLMs are powerful.

Especially for the kinds of “fuzzy” tasks that are similar but not identical. The kinds of tasks that make work tiring, annoying, or difficult: Gather all this info up and find the related parts. Break down and prioritize this request. Prep for this meeting, then follow up after. This task got lost; when did we drop this from our conversations across email, Slack, Github comments? Now please file this ticket.

It’s not that LLMs can do all the work for you, but they can be an incredible support that empowers you to focus on the work only you can do. Just like the very best executive assistant.

But generic chatbots (the big commercial ones) don’t really give you access to that power. And they don’t offer particularly high-quality output, either. They simply can’t; they try to be all things to all people. Millions of users can’t all have a custom experience crafted just for them. The context windows can only be so big. You can only load so much data. Prompts can only get you so far. They’re not configurable. You can’t tinker with the guts. It’s a black box.
