The title is actually misleading. To me the meat is more what is the actual desirable user experience, from a trust and agency perspective. When do people want to give up agency, when do they want full control, and when do they want some level of automatic lift? Restaurant reservations come up a lot but it doesn’t seem particularly full of friction.. especially because I almost certainly don’t want this automated. It ignores both taste, a host of preferences that are time/context dependent, and giant social-not-technical-stop-thinking-it’s-technical problems like scheduling. What are practical everyday problems that people would want a personal agent for, beyond just info retrieval?
