   The To-Do List Dilemma

   “We're all juggling a thousand tasks a day. And we all need some kind of system to manage our work. For most of us, that's a to-do list. It's the original productivity tool. It's always made the same promise. Write it down so you can stop worrying about it. But you always have to come back to do the work yourself, so the tasks just pile up.”

   “And when AI got good enough to do the work, we did what a lot of you guys did. We cobbled together our own agents. It was just never really good enough. And everything ran through a chat, so the work got buried in thread after thread. And that's when we realized that most of our work doesn't start with a chat. It starts and ends with a task.”
