Live Competitive Research Demo Shows Time Savings

  • Jordan Wilson live-prompts Copilot Tasks to research MacWhisper, Whisper Flow, Castmagic, and TubeOnAI, then assemble a full competitive-analysis presentation.
  • He says this would have been a multi-step AI workflow today and roughly 40 to 50 hours of manual work a few years ago.

  • Microsoft frames it as a to-do list that does itself, using its own computer and browser while asking permission before meaningful actions like purchases or messages.

  • He says the clean design initially hid the fact that you can scroll down to see upcoming tasks, which made the interface briefly confusing.
