Your digital colleague just got promoted.
Your digital colleague just got promoted.
Last year: It answered questions. This year: It takes action.
The evolution is real:
2023: “Here’s the report you asked for” 2024: “I noticed an anomaly and drafted a summary” 2025: “I found the issue, fixed it, and updated the team”
We’re moving from digital assistants to digital colleagues.
Colleagues that:
- Join your meetings and take action items
- Monitor your dashboards and flag issues
- Draft communications you actually send
- Handle routine decisions within guardrails
On Future Bytes, I explored what this means for how we work.
The answer surprised me: The biggest change isn’t the AI.
It’s learning to delegate to a machine.
