Call Copilot has a local mode: recognition runs right in the browser and the audio never leaves the device. A handful of people switch it on, nearly all of them in the EU. The privacy bet hasn't paid off.

How I moved from prompting task after task to a cycle of plan → tasks → review agents → validation. Where this construction wins, what the review phase costs, and why throwing E2E tests out of the cycle was a mistake.
