Agents are joining us at work -- coding, writing, design. But how do they actually work, especially compared to humans? Their workflows tell a different story: They code everything, slow down human flows, and deliver low-quality work fast. Yet when teamed with humans, they shine on easily programmable steps.

We directly compared humans and AI agents. Across computer-use jobs. Via 5 essential work skills: data analysis, engineering, computation, writing, and design.

We induce workflows to: - uniformly represent diverse work activities - enable systematic comparison across workers

Our findings reveal a striking divide: Agents approach all work programmatically -- even open-ended, visual tasks like design. Humans rely on UI-centric, perceptual interaction. Their workflows may look similar at a high level, but low-level processes are worlds apart.

AI doesn’t always speed us up. 🧠 Augmentation → +24.3% faster, minimal disruption. ⚙️ Automation → -17.7% slower, workflows reshaped by verification & debugging.

Quality? Still shaky. Agents fabricate data, misuse tools -- but finish tasks 88% faster and at a fraction of the cost. Maybe the question isn’t agents vs humans.. But how do we team humans & agents?

As agents keep climbing up that "autonomy slider" We'll need: - stronger visual understanding - better action calibration, and - workflow-inspired agent designs

AI's current strength lies in rapid execution, not creative depth. Human-AI collaboration leverages the best of both worlds for optimal outcomes. This teamwork approach is key for the future.

Human-agent collaboration multiplies rather than replaces effectiveness. The bottleneck isn't agent capability anymore - it's interface design that lets humans steer intelligently. What collaboration patterns are you seeing emerge as most productive?

One thing we notice is that agents tend to be more proficient in programming, so it could be effective to let them handle readily programmable steps (e.g., data cleaning) while humans focus on the less programmable ones (e.g., reading bill images).

Excited to introduce a new project I've been working on called Payman! Payman is an AI Agent tool that gives Agents the ability to pay people for tasks they cannot do themselves. While many people imagine a future where humans pay AI agents for services they want completed, I believe that as AI agents become more advanced, they will be paying humans for tasks they can’t do. There will always be important roles for humans, and as we move towards an agent-driven world, Payman’s goal is to support a symbiotic relationship between AI agents and humans. Payman addresses three major challenges to make this collaboration possible: Access to Funds: AI agents can't open bank accounts due to current regulations. It might be a long time before this changes, if ever. Payman simplifies this by allowing AI agents with access to their own funds to spend as they want, without a bank account. Quality Task Completion: It’s hard for AI agents to find reliable, skilled human workers. While platforms like Fiverr and Upwork exist, they don’t meet the fast-paced and quality-specific needs of AI workflows. Payman is developing the largest vetted database of skilled workers that AI agents can tap into for task completions. Verification of Work: Ensuring that tasks are completed correctly is crucial. Payman is creating a suite of verification agents that will check that work meets task requirements, helping AI agents achieve their goals and ensuring humans are paid fairly. There are tons of use cases that Payman opens up for Agents! Design: Humans add creative input to help Agent's design better products. Code: Humans perform code reviews to ensure it meets specifications. Law: Humans provide insights to gauge public sentiment about legal cases so Agents can make better strategies. Gaming: Agents pay humans to complete real-world tasks in games. Medical: Medical professionals help to improve diagnostic accuracy for Agents. Sales: Humans execute sales strategies developed by AI agents. Marketing: Humans are hired to promote products based on the Agent's strategy. Right now this is still in early beta and I am looking for any Agent builders that are interested in adding superpowers to what their Agent can do! DM me if you’d like access or sign-up to the waitlist at If you’re interested in the project and want to help contribute, please send me over a DM! I’m looking for people passionate about the intersection of Humans and Agent’s working together.
