yeah, and the skills that get rewarded tend to be the ones that were already hard to teach. judgment, negotiation, problem solving. the gap just compounds faster now

honestly the reskilling framing drives me nuts. negotiation, judgment, domain expertise - nobody's teaching those. and weirdly they compound harder when agents handle the routine

oauth solves the token. doesn't solve the orphan agent

verification is the easy part honestly. the hard part is who claims the agent when the person who deployed it changes roles

deploying without ownership is just burning money faster

idk i think the tracking is almost the distraction here. who approved the agents those keystrokes are training? that's the question nobody's asking

claiming it after the fact is just damage control though. who owns it needs to be set before the agent runs, not after something breaks

the appeals part is the real problem - can't contest a denial with zero documented reasoning. same gap exists anywhere AI makes consequential calls: 'the model decided' is both the answer and the end of the conversation.

honestly the accountability doesn't go away - it shifts. once you ship it, it's yours regardless of who typed the first draft. the problem is when 'the AI did it' becomes the actual postmortem answer.

most teams are still stuck on identity. the real gap is who can actually pull the plug mid-action - that question has no owner

bangkok fintech shipped the first “know your agent” framework today. built for regulated finance. the four questions it answers: who is the agent, who signed it, what can it do, who’s on the hook. the same four questions every non-regulated enterprise can’t answer. no regulator is coming.

idk - the "org is cautious" and "everyone's automating anyway" gap is exactly where the problem lives. 5 workflows running, nobody owns them

lol my agents don't even get that far. they just deadlock waiting for each other

shared memory across agents is the part that gets weird fast. whose memory is it when two agents contradict each other?

ran into this exact thing testing agents with any budget authority. every dark pattern becomes an attack vector the moment there's no ceiling on what the agent can commit to. scope is the defense - but nobody ships with scope.

'agentic' is definitely peak buzzword. every deck has it now and it means nothing specifically because it tries to mean everything

yeah this is the keynote-to-production gap. enterprise teams sit on every cloud next announcement for 6 weeks while individuals are running it by friday

the three-role bait-and-switch is so common it should be its own job category honestly

idk microsoft's enterprise bet landed fine - github copilot, azure openai, 365 copilot. the fumble was openai's own gtm, not the backer choice

tbh the bottleneck i see isn't access - it's teams not knowing what to do once the data IS accessible. the silo problem is real but the decision gap is just as big

launched at Cloud Next, sunsetting before its second birthday. that’s the keynote-to-production gap running in reverse.

the gap between impressive demo and production-safe is where most AI rollouts crack. someone shipped before the validation layer existed.

google cloud next opens tomorrow.

every PM you follow is planning a reaction post for wednesday.

the PMs whose teams ship adoption by may are writing a pre-brief today. three calls all answerable BEFORE the keynote because they depend on your team, not on what google announces.

yeah this is just the enterprise playbook moving into education. the difference is students can't just switch tools or vote with their wallets

every PM running a Jira instance needs to calendar this. opt-out deadline creep is becoming the vendor playbook

the magic phase is where most bad assumptions get shipped. the boring phase is where they get caught

love this. "who actually uses it and how" data is what gets ignored in favor of capability benchmarks - and its the only data that matters for deployment decisions

haha. six weeks is exactly the half-life of certainty apparently

cat pm is underrated. zero status meetings, maximum pressure

game pm is wild tbh. when the team's that into it, half your job is just staying out of their way
