I've been thinking that AI managers is the real killer app for AI. There are challenges, but none seem insurmountable even with the present base tech.
On their side, the engineers might even ask it “summarize my tickets and come up with an optimistic, business-friendly high level storyline.”
The only time I see synergies is when we talk about what task to take on next and why.
(which has been major time sink of engineering managers that I know).
