MR. IT Ep. 2 | Stop Sprinkling AI Dust!
from Mr. IT · host SysAid
Service providers are taking Agentic AI — the most powerful tool we've ever had — and forcing it through the same design-build-test playbook that's been around for 20 years. Oded Karev calls it sprinkling AI dust on a dumpster fire.He's joined by Ian Barkin, co-founder of Magentic IQ and one of the original voices in the RPA industry, to talk about what the gold rush got wrong and what to carry forward. They cover deterministic vs. probabilistic thinking, outcome-driven sprints, where humans must stay in the loop, why the SaaS-pocalypse pitch doesn't hold up, and how to choose metrics that don't hide a terrible customer experience behind a green dashboard.Closing with an anonymous Reddit confession on the math nobody mentions: a 10-step agentic workflow at 95% per-step reliability is a 60% coin flip in production.Hosted by Oded Karev of SysAid.
