One of the early users of the agentic workflow behind agent@riskmandate.ai wrote back, at the end of an otherwise practical email, with a digression Ithat havedeserves nota stoppedproper thinking about.answer. Paraphrasing: the setup implies the agents have a certain agency, yet I had said they only collect and draft, and that I review, refine, sign off and press send. So, for a recipient, does it matter how many assistants I use, artificial or human? What matters is who owns the decisions and the responsibility behind the words, and being able to talk to that person without intermediate hoops. Then the probing question: will there ever be a case where they need to address the agents directly, without me? If not, the point stands. If so, a better question appears: what can the agents do for them without my full involvement? They could also see why someone who builds agentic tools would want to show them working, and were happy to carry on.
