In a world of AI agents, where do we fit in?
Justy and Cody dig into a New Stack piece on human purpose in an agentic world — what does it mean to stay relevant when agents handle the work? The article argues the real value shifts from execution to judgment, oversight, and the decisions that matter. Cody probes the technical claim (agents still need human signal loops), Justy maps it to product adoption (teams that skip the oversight layer ship broken stuff). They land on a shared insight: the boring infrastructure — audit trails, decision boundaries, human-in-the-loop gates — is exactly where the product surface lives now.

Beyond Dashboards Introducing Decision Execution Platforms
Databricks introduces Decision Execution Platforms (DEPs), a new analytics category that automates the full executive decision loop—from signal detection through execution to outcome measurement—on governed Lakehouse infrastructure. The article argues that traditional BI only improves decision inputs; DEPs aim to orchestrate the entire decision workflow, with a Fortune 100 retail case study targeting a $100M+ fulfillment gap. Tyler questions whether the architecture genuinely solves the constraint-expressibility problem that kills most agent systems in practice; Pippa sees the product framing as a real reset from 'dashboards tell you what's wrong' to 'the system executes and measures what you chose.'
