The Future of Automation Is Agentic (and Still Involves Humans)
Automation is entering a new phase defined by agency. Traditional automation targets high-impact, low-effort tasks first, leaving diminishing returns for complex processes requiring human judgment. LLMs have altered this equation by effectively processing ambiguous human inputs. As systems become more agentic, automation's potential value expands dramatically. Humans aren't being replaced. They're being upgraded to focus where their creativity and judgment truly matter. Organizations strategically blending human expertise with agentic automation will thrive in this new paradigm.
