“The highest bandwidth API for an LLM is just chatting to it, is just saying like, I have Gmail and I have these folders that are really disorganized. And what I really want is to be able to come into my inbox every day and really know what's important, get rid of the stuff that's not, tell every recruiter that sends a bad pitch Pushed me to, you know, kick rocks.

You can do that in a voice note.”
