What is AI agents actually useful for?
A user on reddit.com's dev_community forum questioned the practical utility of AI agents for daily life, either personally or professionally. They expressed skepticism about the value of personalized agents and the concept of managing tasks through a chat interface, noting that while everyone discusses these agents, their real-world application remains unclear, excluding specialized scientific or mathematical work.
This post stands out as it directly challenges the perceived utility of AI agents for everyday tasks, unlike most discussions that focus on their potential.

Obviously, I’m not talking about vibe coding or scientific/math frontier work, but I’m thinking more as in like day-to-day for me as a private person or for me as an employee. Right now, for example, everyone is talking about dots and personalised agents But I cannot see the actual value in my day-to-day life. Like why would I put my tasks behind a chat interface?
