Why teams keep it enabled

Support teams draft reply options in Gmail without leaving the ticket. Sales and marketing use deep research to prep a call or a competitive brief in minutes instead of a dozen open tabs. Product and ops teams pull structured data out of long docs and reports without retyping it. The common thread: less tab-switching, less manual reading, more of the actual work.
