@benthompson That "eliminate annoyances, not sell productivity" line is the whole thing. People don't want another productivity dashboard, they want the annoying task gone without thinking about it. The agents that win will feel invisible, not impressive.

@benthompson The distinction between a personal assistant and a productivity tool is important—people adopt systems that remove friction from daily life, not just add more output. The home-inventory example is a great test of that.

@benthompson Sounds like the ultimate productivity hack is actually just having someone to tell you to clean your house 🧹😂

@benthompson Ben Thompson thinks consumer AI catches on through Reels and TikTok, with regular people showing what it did for them. His words: "It really is a show not tell sort of technology." Meanwhile most AI launches are still a blog post about productivity.
