Agents: How to Give AI a Job
from AI Rounds by the Cumming School of Medicine · host Office of Faculty Development, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary
Delegating to an AI agent is not the same as prompting a chatbot. In this episode, I walk through what good delegation actually looks like — scope, constraints, and checkpoints — and apply it to three concrete tasks: updating your CV, building a simple course assistant, and screening abstracts for a scoping review. The framework is practical, the failure modes are real, and the limits matter.
