What I think we will see in the future is company-wide analysis of anonymised communications with agents, and derivations of common pain points and themes based on that.

Ie, the derivation of “knowledge units” will be passive. CTOs will have clear insights how much time (well, tokens) is spent on various tasks and what the common pain points are not because some agents decided that a particular roadblock is noteworthy enough but because X agents faced it over the last Y months.

How will you derive pain points and roadblocks if you don’t trust LLMs to identify them?

I trust that an LLM can fix a problem without the help of other agents that are barely different from it. What it lacks is the context to identify which problems are systemic and the means to fix systemic problems. For that you need aggregate data processing.

How is this pronounced phonetically?

"seek you"? That's how ICQ was pronounced. I feel very old now.

Wow, today I learned. I never knew icq was meant to be pronounced like that. I literally pronounced each letter with commitment to keep them separated. Hah!

What I mean is, how do you identify a “problem” in the first place?

oh man, can youimagine having this much faith in a statistical model that can be torpedo'd cause it doesn't differentiate consistently between a template, a command, and an instruction?

You analyze each conversation with an LLM: summarize it, add tags, identify problematic tools, etc. The metrics go to management, some docs are auto-generated and added to the company knowledge base like all other company docs.

It’s like what they do in support or sales. They have conversational data and they use it to improve processes. Now it’s possible with code without any sort of proactive inquiry from chatbots.
