He&#8217;s even given them fictional personalities, modeling his vendor-negotiations agent after an FBI hostage negotiator.<\/p>\n<p>Cabasso has a dog in this fight. He manages growth operations at ClickUp, a productivity platform where AI agents are becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n<p>Still, that doesn&#8217;t discredit his experience. More people are proudly touting the tasks they&#8217;ve outsourced to agents.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s part of a shift from using AI tools for one-off tasks to giving the tech the freedom to figure things out on its own.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With AI, you don&#8217;t tell the computer what to do step-by-step anymore. Instead, you tell it what you want, you lay out your objective, your plan, and the computer reasons and executes your plan,&#8221; Aravind Srinivas, cofounder and CEO of Perplexity AI, said at a recent event.<\/p>\n<p>How far you&#8217;re willing to let AI take the wheel likely depends on your seniority.<\/p>\n<p>An executive with an endless to-do list is more likely to hand things off to AI than a junior employee who&#8217;s still trying to prove their worth.<\/p>\n<p>The real question: Will the executive wait long enough for the junior to figure things out before assigning a bot to do it instead?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BI&#8217;s Amanda Hoover created an AI bot trained on her body of work to see if it could&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":421175,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[345,12359,157046,198221,114,18191,5143,8647,85,46,1659,198222,6894,789,41122,920,9475,1264],"class_list":["post-421174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-ai","tag-ai-agent","tag-amanda","tag-andy-cabasso","tag-business","tag-cofounder","tag-computer","tag-executive","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-job","tag-junior-employee","tag-plan","tag-story","tag-task","tag-tech","tag-thing","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=421174"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421174\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/421175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=421174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=421174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=421174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
