What is "Botsitting?" (plus: Data Agents Continue to Blow Our Minds)

There's a new word for what your team is doing with the AI you bought them. You're not going to love it.

"Botsitting." Babysitting, but for bots. Journalists are suddenly all over it, and not one of the AI people Rob asked had ever heard of it. New name, familiar burn. Turns out mandating AI usage is a great way to pay good money for software that makes everybody slower.

Then the flip side. Rob's spent years telling anyone who'd sit still that conversational data changes how we work. A recent experiment made him realize he'd been underselling his own argument.

So one half of AI is wearing people out, and the other half is hooking people who never cared about data in their lives. We're still early, folks. And apparently, we're going to need some new vocabulary.

Listen to the latest episode of Raw Data. Turns out AI gets a lot more interesting once you see what people actually do with it.
