Why Humans Doing Repetitive Tasks is a Strategy for Failure
Without agents, you are forcing your most valuable asset—your people—to act like robots. When a human spends their day copying data, compiling reports, or sending routine emails, they are not using their human creativity. They are just a slow, expensive, error-prone automation script.
Enterprises are losing their responsiveness because they rely on undocumented human resources.
"He was the only one who knew how to do that." This is the sentence that kills enterprise agility. When resources (people) with no documentation leave the company, the capability leaves with them. The company loses its responsiveness and has to start from scratch.
Humans have biological limits. We sleep, we eat, we need breaks. A report that takes 2 hours to manually compile means the data is always 2 hours old (at best). Agents can send reports at any time—2 AM, weekends, holidays—instantly.
Enterprises need to invest in building Agentic Capabilities, not just hiring more people to do rote work.
When you build an agent, you are creating a permanent asset for the enterprise. The documentation is embedded in the agent's code and prompts. Even if the original creator leaves, the agent continues to run, and the capability remains.
