The author argues that the gap between AI agent demos and daily use isn't model quality, but context, permissions, and edge cases. Real-world work is messy with stale data, permission issues, and evolving processes. The most valuable pattern is letting the system handle boring, repetitive tasks while keeping humans in the loop for risky or ambiguous decisions.
