• –The strongest savings case comes from workflows that span research, files, browsers, and code, not isolated prompts
• –The Bloomberg-terminal style demos are flashy, but the product wins only if output quality holds up under real data and real deadlines
• –Multi-model orchestration is a practical moat if it lowers failure rates and keeps the system from getting stuck on one model’s blind spots
• –Spend controls matter as much as capability; uncapped agent bills kill the “save money” story fast
• –This sits in the crowded AI worker lane, where usefulness is measured by fewer human touchpoints, not bigger benchmark numbers
