Quanta Bits
Business operations, automation, and AI don't have to be complicated. Every week, Quanta Bits breaks down what's actually changing for mid-market companies: what's working, what's hype, and what operational leaders should pay attention to. Hosted by Reza Morakabati, founder of Quanta Management and MIT Sloan alum. The companion to the Quanta Bits newsletter.

From Decks to Working Surfaces
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on Quanta Bits, Reza looks at a practical workflow shift: using agents to separate the source layer from the presentation layer. Markdown can hold the facts, owners, risks, dates, and decisions. HTML, dashboards, diagrams, and other visual surfaces can help people understand the work quickly enough to review and discuss it.
The episode connects that idea to recurring operating artifacts like pipeline reviews, status updates, project timelines, campaign trackers, and monthly initiative reviews. It also covers the broader pattern from the week: AI output is getting cheaper, review is becoming more important, and companies need clearer ways to inspect, route, and understand the work agents produce.
