You're not using AI. You're working for it.

There's a truth nobody tells you about using AI tools: how much work you have to do for the tool, right up until the moment it becomes useful.

You open a window to get help prepping for a meeting, and before the conversation can even start, you're the one summarizing - who's attending, what they care about, what got decided last week. Ten minutes of gathering for one useful line back. And none of it carries forward. What you carefully explained on Monday is gone by Wednesday, and Wednesday starts the same ritual over again.

You've become the assistant

We call this using AI, but what's actually happening is closer to the opposite. You've become an assistant serving the AI as if it were your boss. You track down the material it needs, brief it on the situation, fill in the missing context. You brought this tool in to help you - yet you're the one waiting on it all day. Before you even reach the question you wanted to ask, half your focus is already worn down.

For most people this is mildly annoying. But if you assemble context dozens of times a day, it's invisible labor that compounds with every conversation. At some point you ask yourself: I'm supposed to be the one getting help here - so why am I the one serving?

The problem is memory

The root of it is that AI has no durable working memory. It starts each conversation empty, and asks you to rebuild the world around it before it can help.

Miller flips the relationship

Miller doesn't wait for you to feed it material. It builds context on its own from what you're already doing - the email you're reading, the conversation you're in, the document you're editing. So when you need help, you just ask, with no briefing to prepare. The one doing the serving is no longer you.

And when the relationship flips, so does the location. Miller isn't somewhere you go to summon help. It stays up in the notch at the top of your screen - no chat window to hunt down, no leaving the place you're working. An assistant you don't have to wait on, always right beside you.

You hired an assistant. With Miller, it finally shows up already briefed.
