McKinsey's recent article looks back on the first year of the agentic Al revolution:
1. It's not about the agent; it's about the workflow
2. Agents aren't always the answer
3. Stop 'Al slop': Invest in evaluations and build trust with users
4. Make it easy to track and verify every step
5. The best use case is the reuse case
6. Humans remain essential, but their roles and numbers will change

I think this is a great list noting the importance of people. What are your thoughts?
