Infinite interruptions

According to Microsoft, many of us experience the infinite workday... At least those who are considered knowledge workers.

Folks tend to work around the clock more than we did in the past.

It makes sense if you consider all the emails we parse through, meetings during peak hours, slack messages we send, and pesky interruptions every five minutes.

As a result, many of us work crazy hours.

But alas, that was not the purpose of the article. The point was to let us know the "Frontier Firm" powered by intelligence on tap (AI) will improve all this.

These firms are redesigning business processes around AI and agents to scale rapidly, operate with agility, and generate value faster than traditional companies.

Okay that's nice, but how?

Keep in mind working long hours is not always a bad thing. As an upside, it can help push us towards innovation, open new opportunities, and build stronger teams.

Naturally Microsoft wants to promote AI because they stand to profit from it. But will an "agent boss" save us from infinite interruptions? Or will it simply create more?
