Stop Asking Your AI Questions. Give It Jobs Instead.

A chatbot answers. An agent does the work. Here are the jobs that are worth handing over first, and how to get started.

Here is the question most people never ask about AI. What if you stopped asking it questions and started giving it jobs?

That is the difference between a chatbot and an agent. A chatbot answers when you talk to it.

An agent works when you are not talking to it. It has its own computer, its own schedule, and it remembers everything you have told it.

I use one every day. This article is not about my routine, though.

It is about the jobs that eat most people’s weeks, and which of them an agent can actually take.

The mistake everyone makes with AI

Most people use AI the same way they use search. They type a question, read the answer, and close the tab.

That is the smallest possible use of the tool. It treats a worker like a reference book.
