What Is An Agent Director?

AI vs Agents

AI (like ChatGPT): Optimized for research - Google search replacement for ask/find tasks
Agents: Built for action & executing development tasks

The Perfect Combination

Combine AI + Agents and you have the best solution for both research and development. It's like having a presidential office - the Oval Office for your development workflow.
