Our AIs Run the Household and the Business

We gave our AI agents real jobs. At home and at work. This is what happened.Arjé’s kids now negotiate their chores with an AI called Rosie over WhatsApp. One insisted on being addressed as “The Untouchable Alpha Lord of Chill.” Ian’s agent Zosia sends him a daily briefing at 9AM. His contractors thought she was a real person.Then we brought it to work. Aimee, our company AI agent, reads our Slack channels, analyzes meeting transcripts, and delivers a briefing at 5AM that connects dots we missed ourselves. She does the work of at least three people. And 99% of companies aren’t doing anything like this yet.But it’s not all smooth. These agents can’t stop talking, even when you tell them to be silent. Aimee still reports every morning: “I will NOT say anything about Arjé’s to-do list.” That’s funny at home. At work, with customer data involved, it’s a real problem. And that’s where safety gates come in.In this episode we share what actually works, what fails, and what mid-market companies should be thinking about before their employees start running agents on their own.Trusted Intelligence is a podcast by Aimable, the AI productivity platform for organisations with sensitive data. We build in the open.
