Is AI helping you solve problems, or making them worse?
I thought I was really good at agentic coding: I built my own system for automating agents, which I'll tell you more about later. Then I realised the agents weren't building what I had asked for, after months of hard work with my name on it.
More automation brings more chances for agents to go off and build things nobody requested or wanted. When a request is well specified, it goes reasonably well; when it isn't, the agents make up the details as they go, and you end up redoing the work. Automation won't, by itself, solve the problems you want solved.
Work that ran while no one was watching. Each bar is a gap in the operator's recorded activity: its width is how long the gap lasted, and its height the tokens agents logged during it.
We need an agentic harness for knowledge work.
Decades of research on learning and on mapping knowledge domains, consulting with clients on strategic plans of action, and years of work with online communities have led to methods that are very useful for guiding and governing AI-assisted work. In 2019 our long-term vision was computational intelligence based on collective intelligence. That is now what we are building: a methodology based on the way collective intelligence works.⚙ A design pattern: Choose between producing new and reusing existing, deliberately — the Peeragogy Project
We can help you realise your vision.
There is often a gap between what you think you want and what your work actually does. Agents can widen it, or narrow it. The first step is to find that gap. Then we can help you steer.
