I spent about 15 minutes on hold with a customer service line the other day, and I wasn’t even annoyed because I was working while my Google Pixel waited for me.

My phone buzzed when a real person finally picked up, and I started talking like I’d been on the other end all the while.

That moment made me think about how many small tasks I no longer do myself, not because I set up some complex automation, but because my phone just started handling them at some point.

These features barely get stage time at product launches or trend on social media.

Still, they’ve quietly taken over the tasks that used to take up small moments of my day, and I think more people should know about them.
