I saw a thread asking, “Should RevOps people be building AI Agents.“

Yes and no.

RevOps can totally benefit from AI Agents.

So yeah that’s a thing.

Some people in RevOp are not really into the technical aspects of the work.

Maybe they enjoy the admin work.

Maybe they enjoy facilitating communication and feedback.

Other people do enjoy the technical aspects.

Moving data around.

Cleaning it.

Looking for insights in it.

That’s still not a AI Agent creator though.

I know a good number of people who fit this second description and still say they hate feeling like a programmer.

An AI Agent creator in my view of things has to have that natural desire to dig in to the code when they need to.

Because if you have any experience with AI Agents or even just ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok, you know that they often “think“ they get it and just don’t.

This type of interaction REQUIRES you to be there guiding it.

And this isn’t just about your prompt or context engineering.

Sometimes the context is way too big for that AI to get it.

And when that context is technical in nature like the example above, does your team have the technical expertise to handle it?

And what if the input into that AI Agent is complex data that is in a data lake somewhere? Then what? Write the python code? Look for an automation to get at it?
