We once wished for an aggregator that could collect news from various channels, allowing us to read our morning news in just 10 minutes. Consequently, startups built some news aggregators and earned a few early adopters, but that was about it.
Now, times have changed.
Nowadays, all we need to do is join several group chats. If we join a sufficient number of chatrooms, we create a news aggregator. These chats are filled with active members who avidly share numerous news pointers, often providing enough information, including repeated items, to highlight trending topics.
So now, people who are constantly online begin to have a significant competitive advantage over others. They not only receive news firsthand and share it within the group but also quickly gain social status as respected sources of (forwarded) information. Their agility enables them to respond immediately to any topic, creating a huge competitive edge over other coworkers.
For instance, imagine a senior executive showing interest in a topic, and a junior member, due to her quick access to information, being able to gather and respond to it in the group promptly, impressing both the senior executive and other members.
In contrast, if you don’t regularly check messages, you might fall hours behind these individuals, missing important opportunities.
Nowadays, contributing in online chat groups is more effective than speaking in meetings.

Fortunately, AI can assist those who aren’t as up-to-date.
An AI tool, serving as a personal information aggregator, can do the trick. This aggregator would monitor all chat channels, summarize key points, offer response suggestions, or even respond on your behalf.
This also suggests that, in the future, AI might interact with each other, handling communications and then delivering the final conclusions to you.
