With that mindset you’d have skipped getting a PC in the 90s because the Internet in your pocket is gonna happen any day now. For example let’s say the agent you describe can relieve people of manual data extraction from websites. Such an agent would be sheer utter magic for a friend of mine. Part of their role involves logging in to get data on employees from 4-5 different systems, compiling a spreadsheet of the data, turning the spreadsheet into a report, and sending it to internal folks. It’d be great to have an agentic tool that can drive the data extraction piece and automate their entire process with just a prompt - but today’s tech works just fine! A Playwright script, some carefully stored credentials, and a workflow automation are enough to get the job done - even if they require constant tweaking and monitoring. Today’s tech is never the ideal version you can imagine, but it can still be used to solve important problems. Better to enjoy what is happening now even if you know it’s temporary.
