Clip transcript
What we didn't solve is the actual work. And what do I mean with this? Let's take a very simple example. A new team member starts on Monday. And maybe your job is to set up their accounts, add them to your Slack channel, book intros with colleagues, order the laptops, etc. And nobody really owns this end to end process in the company and it might be also touching five different systems. Now, agents can most likely perform each single individual individual step of this workflow, but agents still struggle to do this end to end because the real work lives within the seams of all of those different applications, of all of those different steps you have to take. And this is mostly where it all falls apart. The agent can use every single tool you give it, but it still can't do the full work.
