AI Agents are a new and exciting paradigm for the future of software. Instead of being relegated to just a user interface, these Ai agents can take written/verbal instructions and can automate tasks.
Any tips, tricks or hacks regarding the use of AI?

What AI tool should be invented for you?
I'd like an AI tool that keeps track of everyone I meet with and remind me when I should touch base with them again and reconnect. Help me manage my personal and professional connections.
Love or hate: Technology smarter than humans aka AGI?
Eventually, but right now AI is prone to making many silly mistakes. It's a tool to augment human skills.

Yes because the rate at which the world is changing ever since the launch of LLMs and ChatGPT has been in a matter of weeks and months and not in terms of years or decades.
