🚨 New job alert: Agent Managers
Agent Managers: although it sounds farfetched, I don’t think it is. And I don’t think it is farfetched, cause I’ve experienced it is not. I can call myself an Agent Manager. And it is not special. I already think millions of us could call themselves exactly that. It might only be a new name, packaged into an old drive or dynamic that we as a species have constantly pushed for: Up utility for the broader species by using new ‘things’ that help us strive towards new agreed upon goals.
But make no mistake, it does make a difference. You are trying to use new tools (ape you) that help you get to where you want to be, faster, with less effort, more convenient, with more edge, etc… always . And you need to set yourself to it to start using it. Also start ‘yousing’ it, as in, making it your own: ‘What kind of agents will make you better? What agentic tools will help you disproportional? Where are you good at?
Many tools have come before us that have helped mankind make huge leaps. The question is: ‘Are agents the new tool of this area, where AI gets ‘embodied’ into something we can pick up (digitally that is) or pick up on rather fast and easy?’ Will we get to the point that you can recreate your own way of working within agents?
Depending on the definition we are already there. Whether you’re creating agents yourself, or you’re using AI software to work with, in both cases, you’re calling upon agents to get work done for you. And exactly therefore, when it comes to jobs and individual ‘utility’, you should dive into this new paradigma where you can either send out agents for you, in sequence or parallel or become an agent yourself (eg Delphi) giving you the possibility to duplicate yourself.
