Do These Sound Familiar?
Happening every day — you just got used to it
"The order number I just copied got replaced"
Copy from chat to browser, then browser to doc — by the 3rd copy, your order number is gone forever. Digging through chat history takes 2 minutes.
"Where did I save that reply template?"
Support/sales sends dozens of similar replies daily. Digging through folders, notes, and chat logs — or creating a new one? Templates get messier over time.
"The PDF copy has broken formatting everywhere"
Copied a product description for a report — broken lines, extra spaces everywhere. Manually fix? Or retype? You spent 5 minutes formatting a 50-word paragraph.
