Why AI agents can reduce productivity

• wespiser_2018 7mo ago
  Author here. I wrote this article after working on chatbots over the past year. The pattern I kept seeing was that the hard part wasn't getting agents to work, but getting busy people to use them. Curious if others have similar experience.

    I've heard this feedback from a number of users: "If this AI agent is just doing a bunch of API calls, and I know how to do the calls myself, why would I use this?". I don't have a great answers to that, besides, "well it's easier to onboard the agent than teaching someone how weave together 3 API calls", but that's the institutional logic, not really convincing an end user. Either way, if the AI actually works, and we can predict when it needs to be used, the direction we're going in is to just run the process and keep the user informed.
