Two weeks with a personal AI agent: persistent routines could enable a 4-day week
robscottnews · reddit · 2026-10-30
A tech writer reflects on two weeks with a personal AI agent: unlike a chat box, the agent is persistent — running routines, working inside apps, drafting in his style and waiting for approval before sending anything. He cites Meta's figure of 10M+ people in the US and Canada setting up Muse agents in about six weeks, and argues this makes a four-day workweek realistic.
He asks: would you let an agent send email unchecked? And if it saves you a day a week, will you actually get that day back?
