Execution
Systems driving each other
An assistant that only hands back text just moves the work: you still get to retype the result into the system where it belongs. It gets interesting once the connection is actually there — and then the question becomes how much you dare to let go.
In production Nightly tasks run here that sort files, create calendar entries and check the server.
What “driving” means
Creating a calendar entry. Moving a file to the right folder. Putting an invoice into the books. Checking a server and raising the alarm when something stalls. Ten-second actions, each of them, that together swallow a working day because they constantly interrupt your attention.
Where the line sits
Anything reversible can run autonomously: moving, sorting, preparing, flagging. Anything that goes outward or can’t be undone — sending a message, making a payment, deleting something permanently — belongs with a human. Not because the model can’t, but because the cost of a mistake differs wildly on either side of that line.
Build it reversible
Every automatic move should be logged, and every log should offer a way back. If you can’t undo what happened last night, you shouldn’t let it happen at night. That’s the entire safety philosophy, and it’s less work than it sounds.
