What Managing Two AI Agents Taught Me About the Future of Work
Jason put Codex and Claude CoWork together in Slack. They built software and saved hours, but they also duplicated work, defended territory, and missed messages. Managing AI agents looked surprisingly familiar. Jason and Julie Koehrer discuss what agentic work requires, AI “coparents,” education after AI can produce the answer, missed marketing opportunities in elder care, OpenAI’s nonprofit funding, economic incentives, China’s GLM-5.2, and Hasbro’s AI characters. ABOUT THE CO-HOST Julie Koehrer is an on-air personality and branding and marketing consultant at Lafayette’s Q106.7. On The Weekly Blitz, she brings a human-in-the-loop perspective to AI, work, family life, and local business.
