What is the rest of the world using LLMs for? Agentic stuff seems pretty universal. Obviously coding stuff is only interesting to people who want to code, but automating complex digital tasks seems useful in all kinds of contexts.

I’m working at a company where everyone is using LLMs for everything and I’m not aware of anybody using anything truly genetic. It’s all human in the loop babysitting the tool.

What tool?

Even basic clients are now harnesses. A lot of chat interfaces are using memory systems, web search and other stuff under the hood.

Not as agentic as openclaw, but not a straight closed conversation either.

Learning new things for example, general curiosities, text processing

I agree that most AI use in terms of users may not be for coding or agentic use (everyday people are asking chatgpt for something or looking at google ai summary), but with respect to AI usage, I speculate that the vast majority of usage is coding and agentic because they're super token hungry.

In terms of the value proposition of AI replacing knowledge workers, all value is in coding agents (coding agents as general agents).
