Becoming AI-native is an ordered path you walk one pipeline at a time — tools, then teammates, then autonomy. Part 1: codifying the process, the assist layer, and the wall every pilot dies at.
I've built the kind of agent framework AgentKit competes with. So when OpenAI shipped it two years "late," I knew exactly which problem they were actually solving — and which one they weren't.
After watching 40% of agentic AI deployments fail in production, I'm building Dagentic — a serverless-first framework designed for what AI agents actually are: unpredictable, spiky workloads that modify themselves mid-execution.
I built a multi-agent system that researches a topic and hands back a formatted Word document — citations, images, the lot — in minutes. Here's how the agents divide the work, and the one part the machine still can't own.
