I think the more useful part is the parts that checks a ticket, fixes a bug, then opens the PR automatically. Whether you get an email or a phone text or call from a voice agent is ... somewhat secondary, im.

Fixes a bug, yeah that's some wishful thinking right there. I don't think it counts if it adds three new ones in the process.

If it added four last month I'd say it absolutely counts. Trends often matter more than position.
