The Pieces of your Solution

Solutions are not delivered all at once. We lay the foundation months before, but changing how the team works. We identify what we need to research and how to solve the problem. We integrate new libraries and frameworks and develop patterns of implementation. And then we build and release dependent components and features ahead of time making sure they all come to together and function together. We build the risky first. And then when that is all done, what everyone sees and raves about? Is the final solution, delivered to your device of choice. But nothing happens all at once.

What would you make your Agent do?

I love this definition of an AI agent today – “Brilliant, but lacks expertise.” This is 100% how I see AI agents today. I found this video interesting, if only because it gave a non-hyped version of agents. You wouldn’t hire a developer to manage your network, and that’s the same way you should approach the development of your agents – one size does not fit all.
