Handing the work you repeat every week to a flow
If you do a job the same way a second time, that job can become a flow. Four kinds of trigger, conditional branches and a trial run that sends nothing.
Where the data your agents produce builds up
Records you can work with, instead of text that vanishes in a chat window. Collections, what a field tells the agent, and stopping the same record being written twice.
Why autonomous agents do not ask for approval at every step
An assistant that asks for approval at every step has not really taken the work off you. Orbi does not ask during execution, and builds the balance in four other places.
How to check an agent's work
The answer to "the AI does not tell me what it did" sits inside the card. The checklist, the outputs, the history and the diagnostic trace.
Getting an agent to read your documents
Is uploading a PDF and saying "read this" enough? When text extraction runs, what happens with scanned documents, and why a 300-page file does not fill the context.
Chat, channel or card? Where each job should go
You can ask an agent the same question from three places and the three do not give the same result. Chat is personal, a channel is shared, a card is lasting. There is a fourth way in between.
The difference between a chatbot and an AI agent
Both usually call the same model, and the work they do is not the same. Four concrete behaviours that separate them, and the questions to ask before you buy.

Most work does not want AI, it wants rules. Three questions that separate the jobs where an agent pays off from the ones where it is just an extra bill.
Levels of autonomy: what people mean when they say "autonomous agent"
Everyone calls their product autonomous and nobody means the same thing. A frame that measures autonomy on three separate axes instead of one, and the questions to put to a vendor.
