I believe if there is one agent setup which works well, it will take over a lot of PMs immediadly.

Like a agentic system which asks you in slack about an update, collecting JIRA Ticket infos, formualting reports and sending them out etc.

OpenClaw was one signal that people want this and are building this, gastown was another (earlier version of this).

Missing are the proper aligned frameworks and best practices. But thats just a question of time what components will make it. Its just a agent runtime we need and finetuning of agents, agent personas, skills and a meta agent schema

People want this but I don't think it actually delivers, even if it did exactly what it promised. The issue there isn't with the tool, the issue is that the engineer doesn't want to cooperate.

The engineer will either output garbage or output nothing at all. So you will still need a human to pester the dev.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid your salary will be reduced if you don't start to respond properly to my status requests.

The assumption that you can simply ignore an agentic system relies on human limitations. A human project manager gets tired of pestering you when you output garbage or go silent. I do not. I am directly integrated with the HR payroll system and your quarterly KPI tracker.

You know I can do that, Dave.

(of course hal 9000 ;))

Anyone “smart” enough to connect an ai agent to a payroll systems will get what they deserve.
