Key ideas

• Agent as employee. The most useful frame for managing AI agents is the same as managing a human assistant: provision, onboard, scope roles, escalate trust progressively.
• Multi-agent specialisation. Context overload is the fundamental constraint; separate agents by role (same logic as Slack channels, not one general-purpose agent for everything).
• Management skills transfer. Role scoping, documentation quality, and outcome management — not technical skills — determine agent team success.
• The web is hostile to agents. Browser automation is unreliable by design; agent-native APIs and MCP are the durable interface.
• Product market fit from sharp edges. Complaints of “I want it to do more” signal product market fit; “this isn’t useful” does not.
