I share this at this morning’s Tourism Industry Association of Alberta (TIAA) keynote:
The distance to done is getting shorter by the day.
Basic workflows in tools like ChatGPT get things done faster than without, for many tasks.
Gems, GPTs, n8ns, makes, etc. all shorten that distance, accelerating progress.
But agents? Agents are the fastest way to done right now. At lunch, I showed a business leader how to produce his monthly publication that takes him hours now in less than 10 minutes, AND Claude Cowork did a better job (his words, not mine).
Here’s the thing: agentic harnesses – the software around the AI model – are getting smarter. Even as models themselves get smarter, there’s a multiplicative effect when put in the right harness. If the AI model is the engine, the harness is the rest of the vehicle. A Rolls Royce jet engine is powerful but it’s better when it’s on a well-built airplane.
As agentic AI evolves, pay attention to both the model and the container it’s in – the right combination will give you a massive speed boost.
