Agents or operating system? For three episodes, we explored this question. In the grand finale of our series, we resolve it and present a third approach: Fluid Teams.

In this episode, you will learn:

- Why the question “agents or operating system” is the wrong question

- What connectability means and why it decides the value of AI

- How the formula “value equals quality times connectability” works in practice

- What Fluid Teams are and how AI calculates the best AI setup by itself

- Two concrete examples from the everyday work at Leaders of AI

- Why Fluid Teams are currently research, and when results can be expected

This is Part 4 and the finale of our blog and podcast series on AI architecture in companies.
