    đź’¬ From the Frontlines

    “We shouldn't limit ourselves to only thinking about taking what is currently being done by humans and just asking computers to do it. That’s a very not-optimized view of the possibility. We can be more creative… We have to combine agents with actual process redesign. It’s not just about automating the busy work—it’s about doing things better.”
