Box CEO Aaron Levie warns: AI agents need babysitters
|
|
|
Box CEO Aaron Levie argues that jumping from chatbots to actual process automation requires dedicated staff, not just letting employees figure it out on their own. "Most companies will need to have dedicated people that are responsible for bringing automation to their teams," he posted. The work is more technical than expected and too complex for side projects.
|
Why it matters: Every startup that hired 3 people and gave them AI agents instead of hiring 10 is about to learn this the hard way. The work didn't disappear. It moved to the person who has to babysit the agent.

|
|
|
Developer advocate Swyx praised OpenAI's acquisition of Sky by Software as potentially their smartest move recently. He's been waiting for "real" computer use since seeing ChatGPT's vision demo in 2024, and says it's finally rolling out in a usable way.
|
Why it matters: Computer vision that actually controls your screen has been promised for two years. If it's finally working well enough for Swyx to notice, your customer support team might want to start learning how to troubleshoot AI that clicks buttons.
