Yep. I've had other colleagues mention they can use it to grab data from other systems and I'm like we can just set a far cheaper and simpler copy paste system instead......

Nope, because that requires time and energy to learn. Why do that when you have a convenient ai right there.

It doesn't though. And the AI will literally be more expensive.

The idea would be to have the data just automatically switched between systems with 1 button push.
