Quick Monday note.
Today's LinkedIn post is about my named AI agents. It's a post I almost didn't write, because naming AI agents reads as a quirky founder thing on the surface.
But it's not. It's actually organizational design, not just a costume you're putting on your agents.
Naming an agent is the moment you stop treating AI as a tool and start treating it as a role within your organization.
A tool doesn't have boundaries. A role does.
Pixel (my social agent) can't touch financial data. Sentinel (my security agent) can't publish content. The name carries the scope within the organization. Just like Bill, from IT. Or Susan from HR.
If you're using AI without role definitions, you're working with one mediocre generalist instead of a coordinated team.
And role definitions are just the first step. I find it's best practice to model my agents after a person or a "mentor council" of people.
What's the smallest role you could carve out and name this week? Have you given your agents a persona or personality?
Drop it below — I'm interested in seeing what y'all are cooking up.
