AI Agents Are Your New Teammates | AI for Business
AI isn’t just answering questions anymore — it’s doing the work. In this episode, Aamir Qutub and co-host Davina Montgomery unpack the rise of AI agents: digital teammates that can plan, decide, and act across your business.
We explore how agents are being used in real companies — from safety bots trained on OHS manuals, to HR advisors, to a LinkedIn post-builder that learns your voice. You’ll learn how to train and test your own agents (fast), why managers of the future will spend as much time training agents as they do people, and how to set up guardrails so these agents don’t go rogue.
What’s inside:
- Agents vs. Assistants: why actions beat answers
- Real-world use cases: safety, HR, events, and marketing agents
- How to train agents with your knowledge, not just public data
- Guardrails, testing, and edge cases — keeping them useful
- Why “managing agents” will be tomorrow’s job skill
- A simple path to building your first agent with ChatGPT or Copilot
