@askcatgpt: We were trying to 100% automate an important finance function with Claude and kept getting stuck because I ultimately realized… I don’t want to be the one ultimately responsible for this. And that’s the main issue with AI agents for business owners that I don’t see going away any time soon. As leaders, we hire so we can delegate and get things off our plate. But when systems disconnect, or there’s even a 1% chance of hallucination, any responsible business owner knows. That’s not ok. - askcatgpt 📍 catlabs
There’s also that never-ending loop of optimization

More people need to hear this. Too many businesses are trying to rely on AI just so they say "I use AI"

I think you've misunderstood the purpose of AI Agents. Unless you are building goal oriented autonomous agents (with Claude, you're not) then you are automating sub tasks and tasks only. You're building parts of the car (agents) but still need someone to drive the car. Agents augment people.

It’s the same story way before AI, that’s why companies hire consultants or hire on shore to “own” things that offshore worked on. Someone always needs someone to point to when things go wrong when you start to scale

As a CEO this is the fundamental flaw in the narrative so far. All work is not just about the outcome of a task, it’s the accountability related to that task or process. I would never, ever want to bear responsibility for all the functions of my company even if AI processes were able to do the work with even 99% reliability.

so i think it is better to automate gradually bit by bit until you reach 100%

I think people’s default reaction is often, “Which AI workflow should I use?” I’d rather start one step earlier: sit down, look at the task, measure what’s involved, and make the first decision — do I actually need an AI workflow here?
If checking it, signing it off, and dealing with possible mistakes is going to take longer or cause more disruption than just doing the work myself, then I’d rather do the work and use AI to check me for human error instead.

For a long time I thought that managers and bosses had it easy. Delegate all, keep it aligned.
Now a lot of us that maybe didn't like that part or that don't have experience had that responsibility.
Delegate to an AI agent is not very different to delegate to an off shore team. Sure, if they blow it, is your neck in the line. that is a paradigm we are not used to. And that is probably a skill we don't have, blame dodging.

Yes! each agent you create you still have to babysit and troubleshoot a good dashboard will help alot but it is still your responsibility which takes time away from your creativity

I tend to prefer putting deliberate stop points into the workflow. Let the AI do the routine part, pause where the decision actually matters, check it, sign it off, then let it carry on. That feels more useful to me than either watching everything or giving it complete freedom.
