Coordination-heavy jobs are about to become partially obsolete as agents handle planning end to end
signulll · x · 2026-09-16
signulll argues a huge class of jobs built around organizing, structuring, and coordinating people is on the verge of partial obsolescence, since modern agents are almost perfectly designed for such tasks. Examples include event planning, coordinating across groups, and taking real-world actions like ordering ahead — your next event could be planned and executed entirely by agents. Early signs are already visible in personal agents.
