How did we do?
Tune in for Part 2 of our 2025 AI Roadmap Rewind as we give a State of AI and see if we were your AI BFF or if we led you astray.

Algorithms and automations have been buds for a decade plus. 🤝
But the old 'smart' automations were rigid. If one thing was wrong, the automation would bust.
But with LLM-powered agents? Those automations are different. If something's wrong, the agent might just..... guess. 😳
Weak data = weaker outcomes.
Here's how to fix it when agents come first and they're gonna finish the job, whether the data is strong or not.
