Episode notes
Agents Are Digital Workers, Not Chatbots
- Genuine AI agents are digital workers that can run multi-step processes autonomously for long windows.
- They differ from chatbots by operating with longer autonomy and chaining agents into workflows.
Build Agentic Workflows From Modules
- Chain specialised agents (sourcing, outreach, interview, scheduling) into an agentic workflow.
- Configure which agents to use per organisation to automate end-to-end hiring steps safely.
Keep Humans For Big Decisions And Traceability
- Agents should make minor operational decisions but not final hiring decisions, with full traceability.
- Responsible AI requires documentation, auditable reasoning, and bias/fairness measurement.
