Since I watched software engineers using AI, I've become jealous. I've seen them assign 15-20 coding tasks to an AI, play foosball, grab coffee, then return to evaluate the agent's work. That engineer has paralleled her time by 10x to 15x.

Why can't a business person do the same? I read Twitter articles about AI & have questions but no time to delve deeper. I pop out of meetings with five tasks to process. I have ideas for experiments to run internally.

This is different than accessing AI in the browser. The agent has access to my systems : Asana, email, calendar, CRM. It can read my files, pull data from my tools, & act on my behalf. The agent works within my environment.

I've gone from producing 10 to 31 tasks per day. Agents are working on my behalf while I am in meetings.

I had an idea this morning : run a statistical analysis on my Asana usage. An agent wrote code to hit the Asana API & save the data. An R script generated these charts. We went back & forth in the Asana comments on visualizations.

These aren't simple tasks; many of them have 30 or 40 comments, representing iterations on the original idea.

Then I created an outline in the SCQA format. Within five minutes, this post had been written. Another agent graded the post & ensured it matched my style. This is the power of AI : parallel work while we're passive (I was at the gym).

When we give agents the right tools, the velocity of work changes instantly. Business people can now do what software engineers discovered months ago. We can spin up 15 parallel workstreams & 3x our daily output without working longer hours.
