Jamie Dobson and Ian Miell unpack Jamie’s “Claude CoWork” frustrations, then bring in Tom Stockton to compare real-world agent workflows and what “context rot” means for productivity. Together, Jamie, Ian, and Tom discuss why success with agentic AI depends less on the tools and more on structured management, guardrails, and safe-to-fail experimentation.
