Interesting point about LLMs.txt not being read. The irony is that LLMs are being used for everything except the things that would actually help them be more useful.

What's missing is the jump from "AI as search engine" to "AI as autonomous agent." Right now most AI tools wait for prompts. The real shift happens when they run proactively - handling email triage, scheduling, follow-ups without being asked.

That's where the productivity gains are hiding.

I'm curious what boring, repetitive stuff people actually struggle with. The kind of thing that nags at your brain but you never systematize.

For me it was: - Email triage (hundreds of newsletters, a few important things buried) - Remembering birthdays (I've forgotten my mom's twice ) - Following up on things I said I'd do

The mental load of "don't forget X" was just... constant.

What are yours? The stuff you know you should delegate but haven't found a good way to.

(Context: I've been building an AI secretary on WhatsApp. No app, just text. It actually interviews you to understand what you want, then handles stuff autonomously. But I'm more interested in the problem space right now than the pitch. What would you actually use?)
