Pick an industry and toggle People → With agents to see how the same work gets redistributed.
Companies have always been organized around roles, but a role is actually a bundle of tasks that cycle through each week.
The interesting thing about AI agents today is that they operate at the task level. An AI agent does not replace a role, but it can take over specific tasks within it. And this is how we should be thinking about AI in our companies. Instead of asking “which roles can AI replace”, the better question is “which tasks inside each role can an agent take over today”.
Every task ends up in one of three buckets:
Fully automated: Tasks an agent can run from start to finish, like writing tests, posting on social, building reports, monitoring servers. The human sets it up once and the agent does the rest.
Agent and human: Tasks where the agent does most of the work and a human signs off before it goes out, like drafting a PRD, writing a blog post, reviewing code, preparing a campaign brief.
Human-led: Tasks where the judgment stays with the human and the agent supports it, like strategy, prioritization, brand decisions, escalations. The agent does most of the grunt work.
Here is the exercise for you: pick any role on your team and write down the five or six tasks for that role, then put each one into one of the three buckets. When you do this for every role, you end up with a draft of what your company looks like in the age of AI, and that map is the first step to restructuring.
