Traey Hatch of New Math Data on agentic AI: why every AI project is really a data project, and what agents need before they can run in production. The conversation covers the terminology blur between generative, physical, and agentic AI, the context work that decides whether a model is useful inside a specific enterprise, the cost logic behind frontier versus specialist models, and the identity, permissions, and audit gaps still keeping agents-supervising-agents out of production. 🎧 Episode Highlights [2:22] Traey's path from data warehousing and machine learning into a full AI practice, and why nearly every client conversation has shifted. [4:14] Reframing the McKinsey and MIT numbers on stalled AI projects. This is an experimental phase, not a failure phase. [6:45] The word AI now absorbs machine learning, workflow automation, and analytics. What that blur costs organizations trying to scope work. [10:51] Provenance as the adoption gate. People abandon a tool the first time it embarrasses them in front of someone else. [15:43] What a harness actually is, and why the hard part is structuring context rather than picking a model. [19:19] SAP means something different in every enterprise. Why tribal context has to be handed to a model explicitly. [23:26] Onboarding an agent the way you onboard an employee: credentials, permissions, roles, and where the data actually lives. [24:44] Choosing between frontier, specialist, and open source models as a cost decision tied to what the process is worth. [28:55] The shoebox story. Fifteen years of uncashed checks in a permit office, and what it says about process nobody designed. [33:34] The principal consultant approach. A negative proof of concept is a valid result, and off-ramps belong in the contract. [37:37] The age of the operations person, and why process fluency is the durable advantage. [39:37] Agents managing agents. Identity, permissions, and audit trails are the gaps, not model capability. [43:15] The agent that cancelled a leadership team meeting, and where the human has to sit in the loop. 🔑 Key Takeaways · Every AI project is a data project with a thin model layer on top. The visible work is the model. The actual work is information retrieval, data modeling, and structuring context so a language model can reach the answer you wanted. Organizations that scope these as model projects underestimate them by an order of magnitude. · Process discipline predicts success better than model selection. Companies that already design, document, and run their business processes rigorously do well, because the technology fills gaps in work they can describe. Companies that cannot describe their own process end up with overlapping agents, messy transitions, and handoffs that never happen. · Multi-agent systems are blocked on governance, not capability. Parallelizing work across sub-agents is well-trodden ground. Agents supervising other agents on real business decisions is not, because agent identity, permission propagation, spend thresholds, and audit trails are still being invented. 🧭 Frameworks Worth Saving Onboard the model like a new employee. The pattern Traey returns to throughout the conversation: · Terminology. Define your organization's specific language. A lane on a highway is not a lane in a transportation contract. · Location. Tell the model where the data actually lives: which systems, which APIs, which warehouse. · Permissions. Give it credentials and role-based access, the same way you would a new hire. · Provenance. Surface how it reached an answer, so the people using it can judge the result. Model choice is a cost decision, not only a capability decision. Route high-value, high-complexity work to frontier models. Route repetitive, well-defined work like document sorting or data entry to smaller, cheaper ones. The deciding question is what optimizing this process actually saves, and whether that justifies the engineering spend. Crawl, walk, run, and most organizations are in the middle. Single-agent workflows and parallelized sub-agents are established. Agents supervising other agents on real business decisions is early, held back by unresolved questions on identity, permissions, and audit trails. 💬 Notable Quotes It's a gigantic data project with a very thin layer of AI model use over the top of it.
