That's true, but isn't it so awkward to type, or maybe you're disabled so it's difficult or impossible.
So you use a voice memo to capture your words and email them, but it seems almost as silly as calling up and chatting to an LLM, which has the added benefit of being able to confirm it has understood your request and maybe even begin actioning it.
However, this is silly talk, the real future is just gonna be your agent who you talk to directly, who then talks to the contractors' agent, who passes the info on to them in the exact format they like.

And they're a best-effort, asynchronous store-and-forget^Wforward, reply-whenever-if-at-all solution.

What is an LLM that transcribes it and plops it in the CRM queue?

An opportunity to rant about South Africa, because that's surely what the email said - honest, that came out the request to transcribe!
In other words, a singularly noisy pipe. (yeah, I know, it's going to be great as soon as it starts being great)
