This is the most exciting development to me -- a personal assistant that can keep track of my schedule, find interesting articles, and automate other logistical tasks throughout my day.

It's possible to achieve some of this functionality via prompt engineering, but I'm looking forward to the more structured applications that use GPT for summarization and natural language communication, sitting on top of engineered systems.

Yes this, I have a hard time forming words some times due to a brain aneurysm. It is such a great tool to form my thoughts. The responses need a little tweaking but it really helps me write well structured arguments for why I dont want to implement a piece of technology which results in me having to do more work.
