I've seen many people struggle to categorize different types of agents used when building agentic systems. To simplify, here are three common types of agents we often employ at MJ Ventures: 1. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐑 This agent focuses on generating outputs directly related to the desired outcome. Their key characteristics include: - Assigned tasks in different formats - Ability to complete diverse tasks Common Tasks: - Research - Analysis - Content Creation 2. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑 This agent coordinates interactions between other agents and tools. Often known as a "Router," they are vital in managing task flow. - Retrieves tasks - Assigns tasks to the relevant agent Common Tasks: - Task Identification - Task Triage - Task Delegation 3. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑 This agent critiques outputs from other agents to ensure everything aligns with our values and quality standards. - Provides feedback - Ensures strategic alignment Common Tasks: - Risk Management - Output Review - Quality Control - Strategic Alignment Understanding these roles can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of agentic systems we build. Let's innovate together.

We’re doing something big over here, shaking off the web’s addiction to heavyweight JS frameworks. And we’re freeing your developers from either of the two things they are totally doing right now: 1) releasing frequently, without due consideration to how they are killing your performance 2) releasing infrequently because they are working so hard to kill your performance slightly less

Saw the news today that PivotalTracker is shutting down. Although I haven't used the product in years, PivotalTracker was, to me, the perfect example of how opinionated software can supercharge a development team. All software embodies a process. The best tools are ones that not only record information but drive your process and your team forward. If you tried to use PivotalTracker but didn't follow their process, you'd find the tool would not work well - and so you'd be forced to adopt their process (which was a good process). Other tools that are more general, like Jira, let you do whatever you want, which often results in teams with poorly defined or loose processes, which results in teams that don't operate effectively. RIP PivotalTracker. For me, its legacy as an example of what opinionated software can do to make a team operate with peak efficiency will live on. https://lnkd.in/e3_jvQ9g

Many "non technical" small business owners, entrepreneurs and even startup founders are often missing a critical advisor for their business. An advisor experienced in software or technology, or a fractional CTO can bring tremendous value to your business. In some cases, there's instant ROI. At Disca, we often hear about failed projects, blown budgets and missed deadlines. This is not limited of course to non-tech businesses, but nearly every "Main Street" business we've talked to has these stories -- and the frustration to go along with it. We have always offered actual free consultations. This is a no-cost, no-obligation 30 minute conversation about business and technology questions you have or challenges you're facing. Use the link below to book your session today! If your business is struggling with a software or tech project, or if you're about to start one and would just like a second opinion, we look forward to hearing from you. https://lnkd.in/gkNCh9FE
