How to recognize a good first workflow for an AI agent
Start with work that happens often, creates visible friction, uses information that can be accessed reliably, and produces an outcome a person can quickly review. Avoid starting with rare, high-risk work that is hard to verify.Velocity insights
Why orchestration matters after the first useful agent
One useful agent can handle a bounded task. Orchestration becomes valuable when the business outcome crosses several systems, owners, approvals, or follow-up steps and the handoffs need to stay coordinated.Velocity insights
Where human approval belongs in an automated process
Keep a person in control when the action is financially meaningful, customer-sensitive, difficult to reverse, outside normal policy, or based on uncertain information. Automation should know when to stop and ask.Velocity insights
