So when can an AI call up the cable company and negotiate a discount? Asking for a friend.

But seriously, other tasks I've encountered recently that I wish I could delegate to an AI:

- Posting my junk to Craigslist, determining a fair price, negotiating a buyer (pickup only!)

- Scheduling showings to find an apartment, wherein the listing agents are spread over multiple platforms, proprietary websites, or phone contacts

- Job applications -- not forging a resume, but compiling candidate positions with reasoning, and the tedious part were you have to re-enter your whole resume into their proprietary application pipeline app

What strikes me as basic similarities across these types of things, is that they are essentially data-entry jobs which interact with third-party interfaces, with CRM-like follow up requirements, and require "good judgement" (reading reviews, identifying scams, etc).
