About this section
The assistant section covers AI-driven tools that sit alongside human work - drafting, summarising, retrieval, scheduling, anything that reduces the per-task cognitive load. Coverage is product-agnostic but opinionated about what makes a tool actually useful versus what is a demo.
Content approach
Posts here lean on hands-on use, integration notes, and the failure modes that show up only after weeks of daily use. Marketing copy is treated as data, not evidence.
