> A LLM is an interface to a service if you add a MCP Server. Now i can ask Jira things like "hey whats my current task? And what do i need to do?"

What about configuring your Jira views, and then bookmark the resulting URL with a nice name like "Jira: Tasks in Progress" or "Jira: Important Tickets". That would be way faster than any LLM prompting.

> Its also an interface to documentation. I asked it to help me build up a hugo templating based website because just reading the hugo docs did not help me as much as the LLM did (and that was 2 years ago).

Those kind of claims would be better if the person has written down the goals before the activity and then score the end result according to those goals. A lot of time, there's a lot of post-rationalization (like "I spent time on it so the result must be good"), especially from non-expert.

Only if you care about doing things fast.

My hugo example is real. I'm a software engineere for 15 years, have used other templating engines but i struggled with the hugo docs for setting up the initial templating structure.

Nonetheless, I always also see this in the 'with continues progress, this will become extreme good fast' and my estimate is 5-15 years for significant progress with meaningful impact.
