What productivity gains are realistic?

For process work (data entry, report generation, email sorting), 25 to 30 percent time savings is a reasonable baseline. Some tasks see 50% or more. But the gains don't stop at process work. Busy professionals are seeing real value in decision-making and creative work too. Need to make a call on a vendor? Ask Cowork to pull the relevant emails, research their track record, and summarise what your team discussed about them three months ago. That kind of multi-source research used to take an afternoon. Now it takes minutes. The biggest gains often come from work people assumed AI couldn't help with.
