Agents in practice
I run a squad of AI agents. Here is what the work actually looks like.
An AI agent is a language model placed in a loop: it gets a goal, tools it is allowed to use, and permission to decide its next step based on what just happened. A squad is several agents, each owning a different kind of work. The clearest example is how this website is built: a writing agent, a critic, a builder and an automated quality gate, with one person approving. In my experience the limits are not intelligence but tokens, how precisely the job is described, and how requirements are defined before the squad ever starts.
