Ehsan's Insight
Agentic AI is where the real productivity gains will come from — not chat interfaces. A chat interface makes a human 20-30% more productive. An AI agent that handles an entire workflow makes that workflow 10x cheaper. The gap: chat requires a human to know what to ask. Agents require a human to know what to delegate. Most organizations have not mapped their processes well enough to delegate them. The companies moving fastest on agentic AI (Klarna, Shopify) started with process documentation, not model selection. Document every step a human takes, identify which steps need judgment versus execution, then automate the execution steps. That is the practical playbook.
