Today, hermes became a Tool for my 67 yo mother.
Today I received a visit from my parents, who live in another state. While I was around the barbecue with my father, my mother suddenly stopped playing with my son to answer a message from one of her clients asking for a financial document.
She is a retired bank manager who provides financial consulting services.
At that moment, my father told me that he’s helping her to make financial reconciliation almost manually: invoices against bank accounts in a spreadsheet in Excel. “Son, I told her that there must be some AI crap able to unchain me from this... What have you got?”
She’d already been using ChatGPT, but the main problem was that even though it had been a very useful tool, it always forgot how the work must be done. there were tons of interpretation glitches. In short, she spent more time fixing formatting errors and cleaning up the AI's misunderstandings than she would have by just doing everything herself from scratch.
I didn't explain too much. I showed how useful it can be… and She loved it. She loved “tweaking the buttons” until everything looked perfect. She's been testing it non-stop, and she said: 'Oh my god, it just gets smarter on its own every time!”
BTW, I finally freed my father from that “cell.” 😂😂
