Just my anecdote but I use Instinct heavily (personal assistant AI who can do computer use tasks like buying flights or scheduling). It now runs a surprising amount of my life, but it messes simple things up like getting me completely accurate notes about the person I have a meeting with. My understanding is they are using GPT Luna behind the scenes, so it’s hard for me to think something that is small enough to run locally and is not at a frontier lab would be able to catch up (for now).

Separately, I am not sure these things are maximally useful with guaranteed privacy. They need access to other data sources (banking, logins, business data lake, observability stack) to be useful for things outside of pure coding or research.
