If it can work in such a small space, think of what it can do in even a low-end android phone.
I don't need my phone to write me stories, but I would like it to notice when my flight is running late and either call up the customer support and book a new connection or get a refund (like Facebook's M was bizarrely adept at doing) or just let my contacts in the upcoming meeting know I'm a bit late.
If it searches my mail I'd like it to be on the device and never leverage a leaky, insecure cloud service.
With a trim setup like this, they've shown it's possible.
Why would you need an LLM for that?
We have a standard, it's called RSS.
We have scripting. We also have visual scripting. That there's no customer tool for that ... is not customer's fault, but not a sign of some fundamental limitation either.
Customer support would, in fact, be more pleased with an e-mail from a template, and not a robot call (and it'll likely have robot detection and drop such calls anyway).
Informing your contacts is better done with a template too.
However, now when I think about it, if such a tool existed, it could use an LLM as a fallback in each case, where we don't have a better source of data about your flights, a fitting e-mail template, some point of that template lacking, or confusion in parsing the company page for support e-mail.
But that still would much rather be some "guesser" element in a visual script, one used when there's nothing more precise.
I think such a product could be more popular than just an LLM to which you say to do something and are never certain whether it's going to do a wildcard weirdness or it's going to be fine.
