From Chats to Actions: Agentic AI Assistants

Description

Most AI tools still wait for us to ask. You open a chat, type a question, get an answer. But the future of AI will not live inside that chat window. It will take initiative and action. Imagine AI systems that detect trends and anomalies before reports are published, generate insights before meetings start, and trigger decisions before we even realize they are needed. That is where AI is headed, beyond conversation and into coordination. That is why agentic AI assistants represent the next evolution of work: systems that anticipate, act, and drive meaningful outcomes before we even prompt them. “AI should not wait for permission to be useful.”“When technology blends into the workflow, transformation has already happened.”“Agentic AI is not the next technology trend. It is the next way we work.” The Second Draft (SD²) is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode.
