For the opsec-minded folks, I think it's a really hard sell to connect your primary email (and not a burner) to any "Chief of Staff" agent right now (Instinct, Grok Bot, Muse). Sure, you can do emails and restaurant bookings 2-5x faster, but you are now exposing yourself to asymmetric downside. Most apps handle OTP + account recovery through just your email, so a single hack can compromise your entire digital life. For the crypto folks: this is reminiscent of chasing that 20% DeFi yield on that new shiny app, with the asymmetric risk of losing your entire balance because of a 0-day.
