Responding to the tweet quoted in the article: why are the examples given of futuristic capabilities always so visionless - it's always booking a flight or scheduling a meeting. Doing this manually is already pretty trivial, it's more productivity theatre than genuinely life-changing.

There are real, impressive examples of the power of agentic flows out there. Can we up the quality of our examples just a bit?

Some of it is lack of imagination, but some of it is because many truly visionary examples would largely sound stupid to most of today's audience. Imagine it's 2007 and you're explaining how the smartphone will change society over the next 20 years:

- A photo sharing app will change restaurants, public spaces, and the entire travel industry across the world

- The smartphone will bring about regime change in Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon, and other countries in ~4 years

- We'll replace taxis and hotels by getting rides and sharing homes with strangers

- Billions of people across the world will never need to own a desktop or laptop

- A short video sharing app will kill TV

- QR codes become relevant

Most of these would be a hard sell at the time.
