one job on your org chart is quietly running on empty: the human pit stop between a customer and your system. it only existed because info couldn't move itself. now it goes straight to the database.this isn't ai with a machete. it's fax ππ» email. the relay didn't get replaced - it just became irrelevant.which role is it in yours?
@SydSteyerhart maybe. meanwhile most companies still can't get one agent to read their own database without a three-week project. feels a bit further off from here
@vineerpasam agree, though i bet they'll be just as baffled that we then spent six months debugging what it wrote π the writing was never the slow part
@mitchellh the tell is usually one question: ask a team why they're doing the ai thing, and the honest answer is "everyone else is." conviction sounds different. you can hear it in about ten seconds
@garrytan where do ai agents fit in this? they already uphold parts of the order - approvals, routing, decisions - but nobody hired them and nobody can really fire them. a new kind of member the org chart has no box for yet
the cheapest part of a failed ai project is the budget.
the real cost: one pilot flops, "we tried ai, it didn't work" becomes the company line for two years, and every good idea after it has to fight that ghost.
a small win that actually ships beats a grand demo that doesn't. it earns you the one thing that matters - the chance to try again
half the startups raising right now are selling "proprietary ai" that's really a thin front-end on someone else's api.
no shame in building fast. just don't pay a premium for "proprietary" that isn't.
before you wire the money, get someone to read the code. that's where real due diligence starts
you don't need an ai strategy.
you need one process that's costing you real money, and the discipline to fix that one before touching the next.
the companies winning didn't start with a grand blueprint. they shipped one focused thing, measured it, shipped the next. everyone else is still in a meeting debating the tech stack.
if the board wants proof, one live result beats a 40-slide deck every time
@santiagomed not dumb, this is an observability gap not a you problem. if you can't tell what an agent did and why at a glance, that's the tooling failing, not your brain. readable audit trails should do that work, not you
@Codie_Sanchez this is the whole AI industry right now. everyone's chasing the flashiest model, and the real luxury is an AI system that just works in production every day. basic competence, applied to AI
@romanhelmetguy the real job turned out to be everything around the prompt - evals, monitoring, keeping the thing reliable once it's in production. prompting was never the hard part
@omkarships https://t.co/UyPUltz3yH we build production-ready AI agents for insurance, fintech and HR, and stay after launch: monitoring, LLMOps and support so it keeps working past the demo
@araseb_ https://t.co/UyPUltz3yH we build production-ready AI agents for insurance, fintech and HR, and stay after launch: monitoring, LLMOps and support so it keeps working past the demo
@kelvinbuildss keeping AI agents alive after launch. most pilots die in the gap between a good demo and something that runs reliably in production - that's the part we own
