When another kind of tool is the better fit

A quick answer

For one-off questions with nothing to do in your apps, a chat assistant is enough.

A fixed, high-volume process

For the same steps thousands of times a day, a dedicated automation tool can be cheaper.

Everything else

Work that needs judgment, your apps and a yes before it goes out is what an AI coworker is for.
