Question for people who use AI regularly

Most AI tools today follow the same pattern: ask a question, get an answer, move on. But I've been wondering if that's the best way to use AI. Some of my most useful AI interactions have come from brainstorming, refining ideas, and exploring different approaches rather than looking for a quick answer. That got me thinking about platforms like MultipleChat AI, where the focus is on multiple AI systems contributing to a response instead of relying on a single assistant.
I'm curious:
Do you use AI mainly for answers or for thinking through ideas?
Would AI be more useful if it felt more collaborative?
What would make an AI tool become part of your daily workflow?

Would love to hear your thoughts.
