ADA AI: AI Employees Replace Back Office Workflows


Listen Later

AI employees are viable now for bounded operational workflows. Dr. Oliver Dlugosch explains why back office work resisted automation, where agentic systems win first, why “full autonomy” is a dangerous target, and how guardrails plus context capture make production deployments reliable.


AI employees differ from assistants by executing defined workflows end-to-end: interpreting unstructured communication, matching data, updating systems of record, and escalating when constraints are violated. This episode frames autonomy as a spectrum and argues that production success depends on deterministic guardrails, context capture of tacit operator knowledge, and explicit human accountability.

Featuring Dr. Oliver Dlugosch, Managing Director at ADA AI GmbH.
