The real value unlocks when you have genuinely hard technical problems. The "I trust you, figure it out" prompt unlocks autonomous multi-hour workflows.
So much money and attention is focused on re-thinking our work tools and processes today, Gavini notes, with many of tech's smartest people bringing AI to verticals like legal or healthcare.
