Experts share tips for choosing and using AI agents for personal tasks
A new guide outlines how to start using AI agents that can independently handle tasks such as managing schedules, writing emails, booking travel and shopping. Unlike traditional chatbots, these agents act proactively. Companies including Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic are competing to offer such tools.
Key points
- Experts recommend using multiple AI agents for different task types
- Jose Artigas names Claude Duet, Dots, Instinct and Meta's Muse for specific uses
- Clara Gigling warns about privacy risks when connecting agents to personal data
Business consultant Jose Artigas recommends specific agents for different needs: Claude Duet for starting a business, Dots for technical problem-solving, Instinct for routine tasks like emails and travel, and Meta's Muse for beginners due to its user-friendly features. Clara Gigling of Oudae Labs advises providing clear instructions, specific goals and necessary context for better results, and suggests testing multiple agents rather than relying on one. Experts also warn users to consider privacy before connecting agents to emails, calendars, identification details and financial accounts, noting that while companies have introduced privacy policies and memory controls, caution is warranted when sharing sensitive information.
