Jeff explains 'agentic AI'—autonomous AI agents that handle multi-step tasks and integrate into daily work—and gives a concrete example: an AI agent that checks his email inbox multiple times per day, drafts suggested responses for human approval, and produces a daily report. He emphasizes a workflow where AI does the bulk of work (roughly 80%) and the human performs light review and final send (roughly 10%).
The other thing is what's called agentic AI and this is where agents, AI agents become more autonomous and they're capable of handling multi step tasks and integrating to daily work and life, acting as a personal assistant and strategist. Now let me give you a specific example. If you don't have more than a thousand emails in your inbox that you haven't opened up, don't raise your hand. I've got tens of thousands. Okay. And it's not that I. Well, the point is, so what I did is I said I'm going to create an AI agent that will check my inbox every day and it will. Is this, is this something I should be aware of? Should I just go ahead and delete it? You know, in other words, I gave it a set, a set of instructions on what to do and then it would write drafts, email drafts for the ones that it felt like I should go ahead and respond back to. So let's say it's one of my clients have a specific question, they would understand that it would, it would spin up a draft and then it would, at 10 o' clock every morning, it would do this at 10 o' clock and I think I have it 3 o' clock in the afternoon and at 10 o' clock it would give me a report and said, hey, this particular client, they sent an email. Here's a suggested response. Well, I'd look at that response or I'd look at the email. I look at the response and say, looks good to me. Click send. In other words, it was, it was doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Sometimes we hear this, this sequence of 10, 80, 10 and what that means is 10% is done by the human, 80%, the big lift is done by the artificial intelligence. And then we come back as the human and we give it the thumbs up, do a little polishing, whatever it may, may be, and then send it out.
