AI agents are here to help you

A recent release of a task-driven autonomous agent has caught a lot of attention lately (see comment). It gives a clear view on where we are heading, and it's amazing - AI is getting into the world and doing real jobs for us. This is how it works, you give an "AI agent":

- a name,
- a role, and
- a goal

and it will set up a task, execute it, review the outcome, and iterate until the goal is met, having internet access to search for data 🤯

🧑‍💻 As you can see, this is quite different from ChatGPT, which does not have internet access and you have to be there and provide prompts for every step. If you tried programming with ChatGPT, you know what I'm talking about: prompt for code, get the code, try the code, paste the error message, get updated code, and iterate until the code runs. Now, the iteration part is automated.

🌴 For example, say that you want to plan for your summer vacation, just create an AI agent "TravelJoe" with the role of browsing the web for vacation trips and a goal to find a one-week vacation in Greece for 2 adults traveling from Stockholm. TravelJoe will now set up tasks, execute, review the outcome, and iterate until the goal is met. Exactly as you would do it yourself.

💼 Business will be changed

🕵️You will use agents for many tasks. Order three easy-to-make dinners for four persons, I want all ingredients delivered at my doorstep tomorrow. Done.

🚀 This is not a crazy dream about the distant future, it is happening now, and you can toy around with it to be a bit prepared when it hits us.

👩‍💼 How would I use this in my role as a project manager? For example, I can ask it to give me a draft document based on data from similar projects and help me organize kick-offs, find meeting times, run meetings?
It might be a way around training company specific models?

❓ Taking it one step further, am I a project management agent that can be replaced? Easily?

❓What will happen to all comparison sites? Will all commercial websites also have a API tailored to being used by agents? (this might already be the case today?)

❓ How would you use an AI agent professionally?

Looking forward to the next few iterations on this 😃
