Rise of Bots

Most bots work well in demos. Many fail in production. The difference is rarely model quality. It is almost always system design.

The word bot is often used to describe any form of automation. In practice, modern bots are better understood as decision-making systems operating under uncertainty. What distinguishes today’s bots from earlier automation is not intelligence alone, but where and how decisions are made.

This blog is about bots, but not in the abstract sense the term is usually used. It is not about hype, predictions, or surface-level commentary.
