Stop Treating AI Like Your Personal Assistant. You’re Missing the Entire Point.

We’ve been treating AI as an isolated personal assistant, but the real revolution is AI-to-AI coordination. By fusing agents with shared online documents, teams achieve a third generation of collaboration: humans oversee strategy while agents silently update shared states in the background.
