| So the notes for a blog post to share targets audience. In fact, it'd be actually quite good and give out the briefs I used to get from web pals, and those guys that would actually be a great format for an AI agent. The idea I was planning yesterday of like this, where I capture a thought or a briefer notes, and I might add to that these target market SEO keywords, title, target length, and the services I would like to offer. They better off as two different topics. | |
| The first is agents and assistants. I feel like there is traffic for that search, then it would be a good one to have a piece for because people are wondering, well, what the difference? And that could be quite fairly clean to write, but also making the point that there's actually a lot of overlap. A point that doesn't get made enough is that a lot of things are actually better off as assistants and not as agents. That as MCP comes online and matures, it doesn't mean that everything needs to use it. | |
| The next one is within the world of agents. I don't know if I want to make a controversial take. Maybe this might ignite some thought among people, which is that we're calling two completely different things agents at the moment: conversational and instructional. The case in point for builders would be Mind Studio for workflow-based agents, and ChatGPT has recently launched Agent Mode for chatbots that have MCP and AI. | |
| And right now, my personal opinion is that we need one... Users want and need one platform for both of them. But also that it's when people are trying to... We need actually a name. We need a name for... We need vocabulary at the moment actually because right now they're both calling... There isn't really a good word for a single term workflow of an agent that's created by a form and it puts it through a pipeline. People would just call that an agent, and they'd call a chatbot that can send your emails or return your inbox. They'd call that an agent too, and they're completely different user experiences. | |
| So I think the point would be to delineate between the two, firstly, and secondly to... I think the bottom line that people might want is if I'm writing this for as a prospective sales hook, people will say, well, we don't want to just hear this. We don't want to hear pontification or musing. We want to hear what are the takeaways. | |
| And I think the takeaways from this might be from you have to ask what does a business, why does a business need to care about this? And the point really is that different, you might need different platforms. Here's what's out there in the market; it could be a prediction as well that I predict that these will fuse in 2025. But for now, that's why there's kind of a couple of different tools. I think a lot of people are wondering if they have a name because there are just such incredible... We could use Crew AI as an example of a very established code-first agentic framework, and then we could use Claude code or ChatGPT agent mode. So we now have a few good examples to draw upon in both categories of what they are. |
