यू॒यम॒स्मान्न॑यत॒ वस्यो॒ अच्छा॒ निरं॑ह॒तिभ्यो॑ मरुतो गृणा॒नाः। जु॒षध्वं॑ नो ह॒व्यदा॑तिं यजत्रा व॒यं स्या॑म॒ पत॑यो रयी॒णाम् ॥१०॥

yūyam asmān nayata vasyo acchā nir aṁhatibhyo maruto gṛṇānāḥ | juṣadhvaṁ no havyadātiṁ yajatrā vayaṁ syāma patayo rayīṇām ||

यू॒यम्। अ॒स्मान्। न॒य॒त॒। वस्यः॑। अच्छ॑। निः। अं॒ह॒तिऽभ्यः॑। म॒रु॒तः॒। गृ॒णा॒नाः। जु॒षध्व॑म्। नः॒। ह॒व्यऽदा॑तिम्। य॒ज॒त्राः॒। व॒यम्। स्या॒म॒। पत॑यः। र॒यी॒णाम् ॥१०॥

हे (गृणानाः) स्तुति करते हुए (मरुतः) विद्वान् मनुष्यो ! (यूयम्) आप लोग (वस्यः) अति धन से युक्त (अस्मान्) हम लोगों की रक्षा कीजिये और (अंहतिभ्यः) मारते हैं जिनसे उन अस्त्रों से पृथक् (अच्छा) उत्तम प्रकार (निः, नयत) निरन्तर पहुँचाइये और (नः) हम लोगों की (जुषध्वम्) सेवा करिये। और हे (यजत्राः) मिलनेवाले जनो ! हम लोगों के लिये (हव्यदातिम्) देने योग्य दान को प्राप्त कराइये जिससे (वयम्) हम लोग (रयीणाम्) धनों के (पतयः) पालन करनेवाले (स्याम) होवें ॥१०॥

भावार्थभाषाः -जिज्ञासुजन विद्वानों की प्रार्थना इस प्रकार करें कि आप लोग हम लोगों को दुष्ट आचरण से अलग करके धर्मयुक्त मार्ग को प्राप्त कराइये ॥१०॥ इस सूक्त में मरुत नाम से विद्वान् आदि के गुणों का वर्णन करने से इस सूक्त के अर्थ की इस से पूर्व सूक्त के अर्थ के साथ सङ्गति जाननी चाहिये ॥ 

People with intellect and wisdom, please help us with ideas to protect our wealth, to become masters of wealth and to become capable of creating right goods that can be traded or given in charity.

It can be interpreted that God says it is good for society, if people with intellect and wisdom,  help wealth creators  with ideas (prayers or recitations) to protect the wealth, to become masters of wealth and to become capable of creating right goods that can be traded or given in charity.


1913  ii-27-17

Never be lacking in riches.

1921 vii-32-21

The Vedas caution that wealth does not come to the niggardly person.1921

न दु॑ष्टु॒ती मर्त्यो॑ विन्दते॒ वसु॒ न स्रेध॑न्तं र॒यिर्न॑शत्। सु॒शक्ति॒रिन्म॑घव॒न् तुभ्यं॒ माव॑ते दे॒ष्णं यत्पार्ये॑ दि॒वि ॥२१॥

na duḥṣṭutī martyo vindate vasu na sredhantaṁ rayir naśat | suśaktir in maghavan tubhyam māvate deṣṇaṁ yat pārye divi ||

न। दुः॒ऽस्तु॒ती। मर्त्यः॑। वि॒न्द॒ते॒। वसु॑। न। स्रेध॑न्तम्। र॒यिः। न॒श॒त्। सु॒ऽशक्तिः॑। इत्। म॒घ॒ऽव॒न्। तुभ्य॑म्। माऽव॑ते। दे॒ष्णम्। यत्। पार्ये॑। दि॒वि ॥

स्वामी दयानन्द सरस्वती

मनुष्य धन की प्राप्ति के लिये क्या-क्या कर्म करें, इस विषय को अगले मन्त्र में कहते हैं ॥

 -हे (मघवन्) परमपूजित धनयुक्त ! जैसे (मर्त्यः) मनुष्य (दुष्टुती) दुष्ट प्रशंसा से (वसु) धन को (न) न (विन्दते) प्राप्त होता है (स्रेधन्तम्) और हिंसा करनेवाले मनुष्य को (रयिः) लक्ष्मी और (सुशक्तिः) सुन्दर शक्ति (इत्) ही (न) नहीं (नशत्) प्राप्त होती है इस प्रकार (मावते) मेरे समान (तुभ्यम्) तुम्हारे लिये (पार्ये) पालना वा पूर्णता करने के योग्य (दिवि) काम में (यत्) जो (देष्णम्) देने योग्य को न प्राप्त होता वह और को भी नहीं प्राप्त होता है ॥२१॥

भावार्थभाषाः -जो अधर्माचरण से युक्त दुष्ट, हिंसक मनुष्य हैं उनको धन, राज्य, और उत्तम सामर्थ्यं नहीं प्राप्त होता है, इससे सबको न्याय के आचरण से ही धन खोजना चाहिये ॥२१॥

The person who is careless, unjust and cruel will not become strong, rich and leader and even if gets them he will lose them. So people have to use proper moral and legal approaches to create wealth and grow it.

Earn wealth through lawful path.

(मर्तः-द्रविणं परिचित्-ममन्यात्) मनुष्य ज्ञानधन की सब ओर से कामना करे (ऋतस्य पथा मनसा विवासेत्) अमृत अर्थात् मोक्ष के मार्ग से अपने अन्तःकरण अर्थात् श्रद्धा से उसे सेवन करे (उत स्वेन क्रतुना सं वदेत) और अपने प्रज्ञान से-चिन्तन से विचार करे (श्रेयांसं दक्षं मनसा जगृभ्यात्) श्रेष्ठ बल अर्थात् आत्मबल को मनोभाव से पकड़े ॥२॥

भावार्थभाषाः -ज्ञानधन जहाँ से भी मिले ले लेना चाहिये और उसका सबसे अधिक सदुपयोग मोक्षमार्ग में लगाना है। वह मानव का श्रेष्ठ बल है ॥२॥


7.1.1 Profitability management 

1923 x-34-13

Wealth has to be attained through genuine labor.

अ॒क्षैर्मा दी॑व्यः कृ॒षिमित्कृ॑षस्व वि॒त्ते र॑मस्व ब॒हु मन्य॑मानः । तत्र॒ गाव॑: कितव॒ तत्र॑ जा॒या तन्मे॒ वि च॑ष्टे सवि॒तायम॒र्यः ॥

akṣair mā dīvyaḥ kṛṣim it kṛṣasva vitte ramasva bahu manyamānaḥ | tatra gāvaḥ kitava tatra jāyā tan me vi caṣṭe savitāyam aryaḥ ||

अ॒क्षैः । मा । दी॒व्य॒ह् । कृ॒षिम् । इत् । कृ॒ष॒स्व॒ । वि॒त्ते । र॒म॒स्व॒ । ब॒हु । मन्य॑मानः । तत्त्र॑ । गावः॑ । कि॒त॒व॒ । तत्र॑ । जा॒या । तत् । मे॒ । वि । च॒ष्टे॒ । स॒वि॒ता । अ॒यम् । अ॒र्यः ॥ १०.३४.१३


(कितव) हे द्यूतव्यसनी ! (अक्षैः-मा दीव्यः) जुए के पाशों से मत खेल (कृषिम्-इत्-कृषस्व) कृषि को जोत-खेती कर-अन्न उपजा (वित्ते रमस्व) खेती से प्राप्त अन्न-धन-भोग से आनन्द ले (बहु मन्यमानः) अपने को धन्य मानता हुआ प्रसन्न रह, क्योंकि (तत्र गावः) उस कार्य में गौएँ सुरक्षित हैं-और रहेंगी (तत्र जाया) उसमें पत्नी सुरक्षित प्रसन्न व अनुकूल रहेगी (अयम्-अर्यः सविता तत्-मे वि चष्टे) यह उत्पादक जगदीश परमात्मा मुझ उपासक के लिये कहता है कि लोगों को ऐसा उपदेश दो ॥१३॥

जुए जैसे विषम व्यवहार एवं पाप की कमाई से बचकर स्वश्रम से उपार्जित कृषि से प्राप्त अन्न और भोग श्रेष्ठ हैं। इससे पारिवारिक व्यवस्था और पशुओं का लाभ भी मिलता है, परमात्मा भी अनुकूल सुखदायक बनता है ॥१३॥

God tells me (his disciples or upasaks) to go and tell people not to try to earn through game of dice. Food is to be produced in the field with own effort. Such effort helps cows to live, wife to live and she will be pleased with it.


7.1.2 Capital structure Planning 

1929 x-127-7

One shall be redeemed from debt.

(उषः) हे उषो वेले ! (कृष्णं तमः) घने अन्धकार को अपना रूप देती हुई (पेपिशत्) अत्यन्त चूर्ण कर दे (व्यक्तं मा-उप अस्थित) मुझे पूर्णरूप से उपस्थित होती है (ऋणा-इव यातय) ऋणों की भाँति दूर कर-उतार, रात्रि के अनन्तर उषा आया करती है, जो रात्रि के अन्धकार को मिटाती है ॥७॥

प्रभातवेला उषा जब आती है, रात्रि के अन्धकार को चूर्ण करती हुई आती है तथा हमारे मानस अन्धकार से ऋण की भाँति विमुक्त कराती है, ज्ञान जागृति देती है ॥७॥

इस मन्त्र में उपमालङ्कार है। राजजनों तथा प्रजाजनों और राजा को चाहिये कि प्रशस्तों से प्रशंसित विद्या और बहुत धन की निरन्तर वृद्धि करें ॥१०॥

(नासत्या) हे सत्यवादी विद्वानों ! तुम लोग (आ पश्चातात्) भले प्रकार पश्चिम दिशा से (आ पुरस्तात्) पूर्व दिशा से (अधरात्) नीचे की ओर से (उदक्तात्) ऊपर की ओर से (आ विश्वतः) सब ओर से (पाञ्चजन्येन) पाँचों प्रकार के मनुष्यों का (राया) ऐश्वर्य्य बढ़ाओ और (अश्विना) हे अध्यापक तथा उपदेशको ! आप लोग पाँचों प्रकार के मनुष्यों को (आ) भले प्रकार (यातं) प्राप्त होकर सब यह प्रार्थना करो कि हे परमात्मन् ! (यूयं) आप (सदा) सदा (स्वस्तिभिः) मङ्गलरूप वाणियों द्वारा (नः) हमारे ऐश्वर्य्य की (पात) रक्षा करें ॥५॥


मन्त्र में जो “पञ्चजनाः” पद आया है, वह वैदिक सिद्धान्तानुसार पाँच प्रकार के मनुष्यों का वर्णन करता है अर्थात् ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य, शूद्र और पाँचवें दस्यु, जिनको ‘निषाद’ भी कहते हैं। वास्तव में वर्ण चार ही हैं, परन्तु मनुष्यमात्र का कल्याण अभिप्रेत होने के कारण पाँचवें दस्युओं को भी सम्मिलित करके परमात्मा उपदेश करते हैं कि हे सत्यवादी विद्वानों ! आप लोग सब ओर से मनुष्यमात्र को प्राप्त होकर वैदिक धर्म का उपदेश करो, जिससे सब प्रजाजन सुकर्मों में प्रवृत्त होकर ऐश्वर्य्यशाली हों ॥ तात्पर्य्य यह है कि जो पुरुष सदा विद्वानों की सङ्गति में रहते और जिनको विद्वज्जन सब ओर से आकर प्राप्त होते हैं, वे पवित्र भावोंवाले होकर सदा ऐश्वर्य्यसम्पन्न हुए सङ्गति को प्राप्त होते हैं ॥ यहाँ “पञ्चजनाः” शब्द से यह भी है कि जिनमें गुण कर्म स्वभाव से कोई वर्ण स्थिर नहीं किया जा सकता था, उनको दस्यु वा निषाद कहते थे, क्योंकि वेद में चारों वर्णों का वर्णन स्पष्ट है। इससे सिद्ध है कि आर्यों में वर्णव्यवस्था वैदिक समय से गुणकर्मानुसार मानी जाती थी, जन्म से नहीं ॥ जिन लोगों का यह कथन है कि सनातन समय में वर्णव्यवस्था जन्म पर निर्भर थी, यह सर्वथा मिथ्या है, क्योंकि “ब्रह्मा देवानां पदवीं” ॥ ऋ० मं० ९।९६ ॥ और “तमेव ऋषिं तमु ब्रह्माणमाहुः” ॥ ऋ० म० १०।१०७ ॥ इत्यादि मन्त्रों में स्पष्ट है कि ब्रह्मा, ऋषि वा ब्राह्मणत्वादि धर्म वेद में सब गुण-कर्मानुसार माने गये हैं, जन्म से नहीं ॥

सं गच्छध्वम्) हे मनुष्यों तुम लोग परस्पर संगत हो जाओ, समाज के रूप में मिल जाओ, इसलिए कि (सं वदध्वम्) तुम संवाद कर सको, विवाद नहीं, इसलिए कि (वः-मनांसि) तुम्हारे मन (सं जानताम्) संगत हो जावें-एक हो जावें, इसलिए कि (सञ्जानानाः पूर्वे देवाः) एक मन हुए पूर्व के विद्वान् (यथा) जैसे (भागम्-उपासते) भाग अपने अधिकार या लाभ को सेवन करते थे, वैसे तुम भी कर सको ॥२॥

मनुष्यों में अलग-अलग दल न होने चाहिए, किन्तु सब मिलकर एक सूत्र में बँधें, मिलकर रहें, इसलिए मिलें कि परस्पर संवाद कर सकें, एक-दूसरे के सुख-दुःख और अभिप्राय को सुन सकें और इसलिए संवाद करें कि मन सब का एक बने-एक ही लक्ष्य बने और एक लक्ष्य इसलिये बनना चाहिये कि जैसे श्रेष्ठ विद्वान् एक मन बनाकर मानव का सच्चा सुख प्राप्त करते रहे, ऐसे तुम भी करते रहो ॥२॥

मनुष्यों को परमेश्वर की इस प्रकार प्रार्थना करनी चाहिये कि हे परमेश्वर ! आप कृपा करके हम लोगों में उत्तम धन देनेवाली सब शिल्पविद्या के जाननेवाले उत्तम विद्वानों को सिद्ध कीजिये, जिससे हम लोग उनके साथ नवीन-नवीन पुरुषार्थ करके पृथिवी के राज्य और सब पदार्थों से यथायोग्य उपकार ग्रहण करें ॥ ८ ॥

हम लोग जो (ऋतम्) सत्यस्वरूप (ब्रह्म) परमेश्वर वा (वरुणः) सबसे उत्तम विद्वान् (गातुविदम्) वेदवाणी के जाननेवाले को (कृणोति) करता है (तम्) उसको (ईमहे) याचते अर्थात् उससे माँगते हैं कि उसकी कृपा से जो (नव्यः) नवीन विद्वान् (हृदा) हृदय से (मतिम्) विशेष ज्ञान को (व्यूर्णोति) उत्पन्न करता है अर्थात् उत्तम-उत्तम रीतियों को विचारता है वह हम लोगों के बीच (जायताम्) उत्पन्न हो। शेष अर्थ प्रथम मन्त्र के तुल्य जानना चाहिये ॥ १५ ॥

किसी मनुष्य पर पिछले पुण्य इकट्ठे होने और विशेष शुद्ध क्रियमाण कर्म करने के विना परमेश्वर की दया नहीं होती और उक्त व्यवहार के विना कोई पूरी विद्या नहीं पा सकता, इससे सब मनुष्यों को परमात्मा की ऐसी प्रार्थना करनी चाहिये कि हम लोगों में परिपूर्ण विद्यावान् अच्छे-अच्छे गुण, कर्म, स्वभावयुक्त मनुष्य सदा हों। ऐसी प्रार्थना को नित्य प्राप्त हुआ परमात्मा सर्वव्यापकता से उनके आत्मा का प्रकाश करता है, यह निश्चय है ॥ १५ ॥

आदि सृष्टि में परम ऋषि वेदज्ञान का उपदेश करते हैं, वे परमात्मा के ध्यान में मग्न हुए परमात्मा के पुत्रसमान, अपनी इन्द्रियों के स्वामी-संयमी होते हैं। वे परमात्मा के स्वरूप को यथार्थरूप से जानते हैं, वैसे ही दूसरों को भी जनाते हैं ॥२॥

Better Management & Effective Leadership Through the Indian Scriptures


Narayanji Misra

Pustak Mahal, 18-Sept-2007 - Management in literature - 207 pages

Management as a subject and various theories associated with it are largely considered as brainchild of the West. the moment this topic is raised, the names of western thinkers, such as F.W. Taylor, Robert Owen and Peter F. Drucker, come to our mind. However, the fact is that all the management theories and hypotheses propounded so far, draw heavily from the Indian scriptures. Indian sages and gurus, like Sukra, Kautilya and Vedavyas laid the foundation to better management through their literary works as early as in the pre-Christian era. This book, Better Management and Effective Leadership through the Indian Scriptures, aims at discovering the treasure hidden in the Indian texts, making the management scholars all over the world feel proud of our literary heritage and appreciate the farsightedness of the Indian thinkers. It is an endeavour to reveal that, be it in any sphere of academics, Indian scholars were in no way secondary to their western counterparts; they were rather the precursors.

Fist Presentation

Jordan Wilson, Your Everyday AI Podcast Host

"Agentic AI, Where we’re at, Where we’re going, And the biggest mistakes to avoid along the way "


Connect with Jordan on Linkedin at:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanwilson04/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNkJBf7j0pE


To be edited and summarized.

Our first speaker in number one is Jordan Wilson from Your Everyday AI and his topic is Agentic AI, where we're at, where we're going, and the biggest mistakes to avoid along the way. 




 Jordan:  

Agents are everywhere.  I think it's important to maybe uh start this  kind of series off by doing a little bit of a check on where we're at with Agentic AI, what it even is, where we're going, and if you're a business leader, what you should be focusing on, and the three biggest mistakes to avoid along the way. 

Let's be honest. Are you guys seeing these things everywhere? These AI agents, right? Uh these these custom GPT agents and N8 agents and in Zapier, right?  Uh so these are very powerful solutions, right? Custom GPTs and N8N agents and Zapier agents, but they're not actually agents. Uh they're agentic at times. But I think it's important to understand what an AI agent actually is since that's the thing right now that really has all of our focus.

8:12

We're in this almost agent washing epidemic. So, a recent Gardner study


revealed this and gave a kind of shocking truth about agentic AI and it's

8:25

essentially turned into a gold rush. So, what this Gartner study did is it looked

8:30

at 3,000 different vendors who were selling or promoting or built AI agents.

8:38

And they found that out of those 3,000, only 130 of them were actually AI

8:46

agents, were truly AI agents. And so what that means, more than 95% of them

8:52

weren't even agents. So, we have this epidemic now of just everything you see,

8:58

everything you use, things that used to just be a button on a website is suddenly rebranded as an AI agent. And

9:06

it's causing a lot of confusion. Yet, even though the majority of things being

9:12

marketed right now as agents are not agents, the real agentic wave is coming.

So a recent IDC and Microsoft study said that in three years there will be more


than 1.3 billion agents active in the enterprise.

9:32

All right? So these aren't uh pilot projects. Uh these aren't small business

9:37

entrepreneurs. This is more than a billion AI agents that will be out doing

9:43

work autonomously in the enterprise. So, this leaves us at uh a weird spot,

9:51

right? So, you might be hearing me say, "Hey, everything that's being talked about and hyped as an agent isn't an

9:57

agent." Yet, agents are actually coming. So, we're at this crossroads. All right.

10:02

So, over the next uh 15 to 20ish minutes, uh this is the road map that I

10:08

want to go through with you all together. So, number one, I want to talk about why the definition crisis of AI

10:14

agents is actually paralyzing your AI strategy. We're going to go over what an

10:20

AI agent actually is and what it isn't and also how to avoid the three biggest

10:27

mistakes of agentic AI adoption. All right, real quick about me because

10:33

you might be confused. Why is this guy talking about AI agents? Uh, so my name is Jordan Wilson. I run a daily, yes, a

10:40

daily AI podcast called Everyday AI. So, for the past two and a half years, um

10:46

this is what I do. Every single day, I talk, I get up, I get to interview very smart people. Um and it's our our reach

10:53

has grown uh significantly over the last uh few years since we've been doing this. So, I've been lucky enough uh to

11:01

get to speak with some of the smartest people in the world who are literally building AI. So, you know, getting to

11:08

meet people at conferences, but also getting to talk to uh the literally the people who are building agents, right?

11:15

Like from the uh VP of agents at Microsoft to seuite leaders at Google to

11:22

all of the startups building it uh to dozens of Fortune 500 CEOs who are

11:27

trying to implement AI. Um, I've been lucky enough to get to talk to and meet and really extract a lot of information

11:33

from some of the smartest people in the world and then I kind of share uh their secrets on the Everyday AI podcast. But

11:41

uh my background is a little bit more uh than just you know running a top 15 AI podcast. So I've been lucky enough to uh

11:48

train now that numbers uh up to like 15,000 uh people on prompt engineering

11:54

uh consulting for large enterprise companies such as GE healthcare and actually advising companies like Gartner

12:01

and including Gartner um on Agentic AI. So let's get back to that exact study.

12:08

And I think it's worth reiterating this because when I started my little

12:14

presentation here, I asked you all, how many of you have seen these agents, right? And uh I'll admit it, that was a

12:21

little bit of a trick uh because I knew those weren't agents. Yet it's so hard

12:26

um especially if you are a business leader or if you are leading AI implementation efforts at your

12:32

organization. It is extremely difficult to understand what's real, what's fake,

12:39

what's smoking mirrors, what's happening now and what's happening next. Um and what you'll see is it's agent washing.

12:47

every every feature, every uh you know section that used to just be a a part of

12:53

a of a SAS. Now everything's an agent. Um but it's too late now. We can't just

13:00

reel it in and say, "All right, guys. Let's let's slow it down. This is too much agent talk. Look, 95% of you are

13:07

kind of lying." Uh it's too late. Um, I was actually on the floor uh couple feet

13:13

away from Nvidia CEO Jensen Wong uh when he said, "The age of Agentic AI is

13:18

here." And normally uh when Jensen Wong makes a bold statement like that, it is the truth.

13:25

And you have to follow the biggest players because everyone is all in on

13:31

agents, right? Uh Microsoft with their uh co-pilot studio in autonomous agents.

13:38

uh Google every single day, even uh a couple hours ago, announced some new agentic capabilities uh in Project

13:45

Astra, in Google Live and other places. And Open AI even had a pretty popular

13:51

splash a few weeks ago when they announced their first commercially available agent. So the biggest players

13:58

whose technology that many of us use every single day have essentially said

14:03

our focus is agents and what we are building is agentic AI. So you have to

14:10

be able to follow the writing on the wall and see where the big players are

14:15

playing and everyone's playing in the agentic space. But this has led to what I would call a

14:22

definition crisis. Uh a recent Capgeemini study found that 93% of

14:30

business leaders saw agents as one of their most strategic business initiatives. Yet only 2% have scaled

14:39

them. And this is something I talk with business leaders a lot and I've been able to learn a lot. But it is a

14:46

definition crisis because there is no agreed upon definition of what an agent is. Everyone's just saying you need a

14:52

gentic AI. But there is a huge gap between what both enterprise companies

15:00

are being sold, what we all think we need, and then the tools that are actually at our disposal today.

15:09

And this lack of education, I think, has led to a catastrophic failure rate of AI

15:15

implementation. So, a study just from a few days ago from MIT showed that right

15:21

now about 90 a different 95% stat, but 95% of generative AI pilots at companies

15:28

are failing right now, right? Some of these some of these studies and stats,

15:33

it seems like they almost contradict each other. But this is my reality as well. When I uh talk with with uh

15:40

business leaders on the Everyday AI podcast or when I'm consulting companies, I see this all the time,

15:45

right? Companies are like, "Yeah, we just, you know, signed up for this uh Agentic AI or we're using this AI agent

15:51

because we know we need to. Our competitors are, but this is leading to so many pilots failing." And again,

15:58

according to this MIT report, 95%, which is a staggering amount.

16:04

So, if you're making decisions at your company on Aentic AI, how do you not

16:11

fall into that trap? How can you be the 5% or hopefully it's bigger than that if

16:17

we're looking at the same study next year? It starts with literacy. It starts

16:23

with understanding the basics. And that's what I'm going to break down for you now.

16:28

Uh, so here on my screen, I like to call this the hierarchy of intelligence. All

16:34

right? Because so many companies are rushing to just implement whatever they

16:40

see as the most cuttingedge AI and handing it over to dozens or hundreds or

16:46

sometimes tens of thousands of employees that may not even know how to make use of it. Um, so when I talk about a

16:54

definition crisis, this is real, right? So even when I'm going over uh kind of my hierarchy of intelligence and how I

17:02

would categorize thing based on thousands of hours of conversations uh with the world's leaders in agentic AI

17:10

these are always changing just like you could argue the definition of AGI uh is

17:16

changing the more we talk about it and the more we build you could say the same thing for uh just these classifications

17:22

of AI. All right. So, I want to talk a little bit about large language models, AI powered workflows, agentic models,

17:31

and AI agents. All right. So, we're trying to undo some of this agent washing because uh if you like so many

17:38

others right now are in the middle of making pretty big decisions for your

17:44

company in terms of your tech stack, in terms of where you're investing in AI. I think it's important to just cut the

17:50

marketing, cut the BS and talk about it at its fundamental level.

17:56

Let's start with large language models. All right, most of us know and uh for the most part understand what a large

18:03

language model is. Uh a lot of people say these are you know autocomplete uh

18:08

you know AI on steroids, right? uh but they are for the most part large language models at their c at their core


are stateless and reactive and essentially next token predictors. they're, you know, much more than that.


But if you really want to simplify it, that's what you look at a large language model as for the most part. Um, working

18:27

with text, they're brilliant, but they're passive conversationalists.

18:33

AI powered workflows are a little different. So AI powered workflows are

18:38

humanes automations with predefined paths. So yeah, so many of those uh

18:45

things that are being marketed to you right now and you see those you know screenshots of all these you know charts

18:51

and flows and everyone's like look at this agent that is an AI powered workflow designed by humans with

18:58

predefined paths uh and they obviously use large language models to go from

19:05

step uh step by step a lot of times there's conditional logic um but it's a

19:10

fixed process right you move on from one step to the next.

19:16

Agentic models. This is where it gets tricky, right? Uh a lot of today's top

19:22

uh models including uh the new GPT5 uh also Gemini 2.5 Pro, they are agentic

19:32

by nature, right? So if you go to gemini.google.com google.com or chatgpt.com. The same argument could be


made for uh Claude's 4 models, but I really like to focus on the um uh GPT5


and um Gemini 2.5 Pro. So, in aentic model, it kind of starts to blend

19:52

between what is an agent. In aentic model, you can give it a problem, you

19:57

can give it a destination, and it's going to decide how to get there. Okay?

20:03

It has many different tools that it can use at its own discretion and it will often go back a couple of steps in its

20:10

path and maybe start over or maybe it will start to uh go down a certain road and it'll say oh okay actually uh I

20:18

thought that I needed to search the web for this. I should actually be uh running some Python here locally in

20:24

order to figure this out. So, agentic models uh they can um access kind of a

20:29

large language model, right? They are a large language model at their core, but they also have a set of tools to use and

20:35

they on their own accord decide how, when, and how long to use those

20:40

different tools. And then last, AI agents. AI agents are

20:47

completely different. For the most part, AI agents are powered, well, hopefully they're powered by an agentic model. But

20:55

the diff the difference is staggering. Okay, this is a complete system. AI

21:01

agents perceive, decide, and autonomously adopt to achieve complex

21:06

goals, right? So, for the most part, AI agents, you like to think of them as a

21:12

human sitting in front of a computer because a true AI agent would have access to uh a desktop, although it's

21:19

virtual. Uh right, they'd have access to a virtual terminal so they can run code. They have access to a virtual browser.

21:26

So in theory, I like to think of it as someone like you and me who's sitting in

21:32

front of a computer and look at all the different capabilities that they have access to where even an agentic model,

21:38

they can't uh launch a browser per se and navigate around a website and that

21:44

is one of the biggest differentiators between agentic models and true AI

21:49

agents. Uh so you can see now hopefully by looking at the differences just the

21:54

amount of agent washing that is going on and how so few agents are actually

22:01

agents. Okay, so now you know some basic definitions

22:07

uh and where we're at currently with agentic AI. So I'm going to give you some best advice on where you should be

22:14

going. And again, I've stolen all this information from the smartest people in the world. All right. So, keep that in

22:19

mind. Uh, here's the problem. I think everyone's focusing when it

22:25

comes on to AI agents, one agent to rule them all, which I think is an absolute

22:32

recipe for disaster. Uh, that's why I even think OpenAI's,

22:37

you know, chatbt agent, it's okay, but it's not that great. It's a general use case agent. Uh in the same way you could

22:44

look at uh narrow intelligence versus general intelligence. Narrow

22:49

intelligence is always easier to solve. Uh it's always an easier goal to work toward. And I think this is um something

22:56

that we should be looking at. A lot of companies when they're looking at agentic AI or AI agents, they're really

23:02

looking at something that can um disrupt or replace an entire workflow or an

23:10

entire job description. And I don't think we're there yet. Um, yes, we can

23:16

build general agents that can do a fairly okay job, but if you want to talk about getting an ROI and being in that

23:24

5% of companies that are getting uh their agentic AI implementations correct, it's looking at narrow use

23:31

cases, very specific, and then finding a specific agent that does that specific

23:36

use case. Yet, everyone's just rushing when they're looking at an AI agent. like I want something that can automate

23:42

a toz and that's not the way that we should be looking at it.

23:47

So here's what I like to say the four pillars of a winning agentic strategy.

23:53

Uh, number one, you should be building on agent. You should be building on giants, right? I'm just being honest.

24:00

Um, there's so many promising uh AI agent startups that are really good and

24:06

a lot of times better than what we may be getting from some of those giants.

24:11

There's a risk involved, right? You shouldn't be moving your dayto-day core business operations around a startup. um

24:19

you know are like unless you're talking about Open AI Enthropic or a company

24:25

that has a trillion dollar market cap. If you're putting your day-to-day business operations uh on a startup

24:32

that's risky. Number two, like I said, narrow before broad. You should be

24:38

looking at small, short, measurable tasks that an agent can complete. And

24:44

make sure if you are uh diving into the agentic AI side again measure and use an

24:51

actual agent. Uh the the next one you know a lot of people are always like hey if we're using AI or AI agents and we

24:58

get these you know 30 40 50 or you know if you look at Mackenzie digital study you know up to 70% productivity savings

25:06

what should we be doing with all of this save time. Uh right I think you need to be focused on expert reasoning data. So

25:14

yesterday year's large language models have been powered uh by essentially all

25:19

the in all the internet right um where your company is really going to be able

25:25

to create separation especially when it comes to AI agents is capturing what's

25:31

in your key decision makers what's in their brains how do they um make

25:37

decisions how do we know when we look at all of this data how do we know what to be looking that I like to call that

25:43

expert reasoning data that is the fuel for future agents, right? We've talked

25:49

about rag for the last few years. Uh and that can, you know, hopefully give a

25:54

large language model better results. I like to think of expert reasoning data as that rag for agents, right? Uh I'm

26:01

not saying we've we we've hit a wall in terms of uh the amount of training data that large language models can ingest,

26:08

but we're getting close. And I think your company should be focusing on all of that unstructured decision-making

26:15

data that lives in your key employees heads. And then last but not least, agents in the browser. I think you

26:21

should focus on seamless implementations that work where your team works. Right? You need you need to make sure that

26:28

whatever AI agents you're using, they have access to the exact same tools and software that your leaders use.

26:36

All right. So, I gave you some best advice, but now let's quickly go over before we wrap the three deadly sins of

26:43

agentic AI. So, mistake number one is prioritizing

26:50

agentic tools over large language model education. When companies reach out to

26:55

me and ask about AI agents, I like to say, "What percentage of your staff that

27:02

sits in front of a computer can tell me what a large language model is?" Usually, if business leaders are being

27:10

uh truthful, it's a very low percentage. I think we're jumping forward, and it's

27:15

hard not to with the pace of AI innovation. And this is coming from someone that literally talks about this

27:22

for hours every single day. It's hard not to get caught up in this momentum,

27:28

in this hype, and in this fear of missing out. But I think that's one of our biggest issues right now. Uh you

27:36

need to stress the basics of Gen AI education. people need to understand

27:42

kind of in the same way that I leveled out the four different tiers of uh current AI uh knowledge. You have to

27:50

understand what a large language model is and how it works before you can move on to an AI powered workflow before you

27:56

can move on to an agentic model before you can move on to AI agents. So it's always a rush to keep up with what's

28:03

today and what's next. But you cannot skip over literacy, right? because then

28:08

we are asking people to do a new day-to-day um tasks without being able

28:14

to even understand the language. That's mistake number one.

28:20

Mistake number two is ignoring the onederee misalignment problem. And this

28:25

is about so much more than hallucinations. Right? Even though uh today's large language models,

28:31

specifically agentic models uh are doing much better when it comes to reducing their hallucination rate. The onederee

28:38

misalignment problem is when we talk about agentic AI specifically multi-agentic AI right now if you or I

28:46

are using an agentic model we hopefully as the human can spot if something is

28:52

wrong and course correct let's let's be honest here the future of

28:58

AI agents isn't just working with one agents uh it's agentic swarms it's multi-agentic orchestration and that is

29:06

a huge problem. Uh yes, it's uh a nice and fun and shiny thing to look at, but

29:12

that one degree off, if that compounds over multiple agents without the correct

29:18

human oversight, that 1% off is going to become a total miss because it is going

29:23

to compound silently across an agentic swarm.

29:29

And then the third one, and this one, this one grinds my gears. thinking that

29:35

human in the loop is some sort of AI strategy. It's not. Uh it is a passive

29:42

crutch. I like to talk about expertdriven loops. And that is if you

29:48

are already in the middle of your first uh kind of agentic AI or AI agent um

29:54

implementation at your company, you need to get out of this habit of AI in the loop. Right? A good example, I' I've had

30:01

many conversations like this. you know, companies are saying, "Oh, yeah, we have a human in the loop on on these agents

30:07

out there running." And usually it's someone in IT, right? And then it's like, "Okay, what does Bill from it know

30:14

about this financial forecasting agent that's sending information directly to prospective clients?" And it's like,

30:20

"Oh, well, yeah, he knows nothing." And then it's like, okay, how often is Bill revisiting this loop? Oh, well, only

30:26

when there's a problem. We need to shift that mindset. Human in the loop is passive. It is ancient. And I think it's

30:33

a crutch in another potential recipe for disaster. I think we need to shift toward and think about an expertdriven

30:41

loop that is where we are using this expert reasoning data and putting the

30:46

right people in the right agentic loops at the right time. Whereas in theory, Bill might be overseeing 20 agents that

30:55

he maybe doesn't know anything about. Sorry, Bill from it. Uh whereas if we really want an AI agent that works, we

31:02

might have 20 experts working on one agent. So we need to flip the script and

31:08

actively put expert decision-m into our AI flows. All right, I hope this was

31:14

helpful. I appreciate everyone's time on this. Uh you know, if you want to know more, uh you can go to our website at

31:21

your everyday.com. We do this podcast literally every single day, Monday through Friday. talk

31:26

to a lot of smart people about AI agents. And actually, we have uh for two hours if you go sign up for our
