Stop saying AI isn’t a technology problem

The new division of labor between people and AI agents

Caslee Sims — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 16:56:26 +0000

Much of the conversation around agentic AI focuses on autonomy. How much work can an agent complete on its own? How many decisions can it make?

Turning patient no-show predictions into action

Sarah Myers — Thu, 06 Aug 2026 11:00:32 +0000

Every missed appointment affects more than one patient. It delays care, leaves valuable clinical time unused, disrupts schedules and creates additional work for care teams already operating under significant pressure.
