I was intrigued by the announced Business Chat feature for Microsoft Teams <https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/11swyeu/introd...>, but learned that it is just summaries of conversations. That's not quite what I'd imagined, which is something like this:

----

A: ... and that is why I think we should go with option 1.

B: No, the points you mentioned support my case for option 2.

C: Nothing you guys have said changes my mind about option 3 being best.

D: Business Chat, what do you think?

BC: Based on this discussion, and my research, option 1 seems more realistic but option 2 would be more profitable if possible. My reasons are ...

C: Business Chat and you guys all don't understand point N, which is the main reason why option 3 is best.

B: Higher profit is exactly why I think option 2 is the way to go.

A: No, our rival is going to hit the market next month. We need to get something out there ASAP. Option 1 can do this.

D: You've all given me things to think about. Thank you for coming. Business Chat, email me a summary of the meeting, and set up a followup meeting for Tuesday 3pm.

That is, AI used as a colleague/assistant, not necessarily subordinate but not seen as omniscient, either; another viewpoint to consider. Like you said, Middle Manager 2.0. When do you think the above will be feasible? This year? Five years?
