We all know the feeling. You are sitting in a meeting, trying to focus, and your wrist starts buzzing. Is it a crucial text from your boss? An urgent UPI payment notification? Nope, it is your smartwatch aggressively reminding you that you haven’t taken 250 steps this hour. For years, we have accepted that tracking our health meant strapping a glowing, buzzing mini-smartphone to our wrists.

For the past few years, artificial intelligence has primarily served as a digital encyclopedia or a creative sounding board. Traditional AI tools typically follow a simple question-and-answer format: you write a prompt, and a chatbot responds with text, code, or an image. While this generative capability has been revolutionary, it still requires the user to constantly command the ship. You have to know what you need next, and you still have to execute the AI’s advice manually. However, a monumental shift is currently underway, transitioning us from simply asking AI to actively delegating to it. This new approach, known as…
