See It Work — Domain experts get more valuable, not less | Book 03 · Leading AI Agents

The common fear: 'agents will make my domain experts redundant.' The reality is the inverse — domain experts become more valuable, not less. Their implicit knowledge is the context that turns generic agent output into something actionable for your specific business. The agent supplies the horsepower; the expert supplies the judgment that makes it usable.

Replace your experts and your agents produce confident, generic output no one can act on. Pair experts with agents and you get output that's both fast and right for your context.

What this means for you

Domain experts become more valuable — their knowledge is the context that makes agent output usable. What this means for you: you don't thin out your experts when agents arrive; you pair them, because their hard-won context is exactly what turns the agent's fast generic output into something your business can actually act on.

Experts grow more valuable as the agent's context-providers:
