Prompting Was Just the Beginning This week's newsletter is about a fundamental shift in how organizations are directing and deploying AI. Prompt-response is giving way to agentic engineering: coordinated AI systems that don't just respond, they act, and are governed by an orchestration layer that determines what runs, when, and with what oversight. The articles this week trace that shift from concept to practice. AT&T routing 27 billion tokens daily through agent swarms but cut costs by 90%. Anthropic's agentic research shows 27% of AI-assisted work now includes tasks that were too expensive to do manually. The infrastructure is maturing.
You don't need to build these systems. But you do want to understand what they are, and where AI is heading. |
