What has been everyone’s experience been with AI agents for non-coding work? I have built several of them for friends to automate pieces of their jobs (with and without company approval) and it looks to me that no one really wants to chat with these things while they work.

They treat it like a background process that tells them when the task is done. Sometimes they will talk to it to get the results via chat but that’s the limit.

What has been your experience with AI agents in the workplace?
