Your goal: Target high-income households in Austin, Texas. The challenge? Dozens of demographic filters, billions of possible combinations, and the constant tradeoff between precision and scale. Segmentation feels like an impossible puzzle.

Low-Code/No-Code platforms like Airtable and Microsoft Power Apps were meant to democratize software development, but they often require more technical expertise than promised, introducing new bottlenecks and inefficiencies.

RPA tools like UiPath and Automation Anywhere were hailed as solutions for repetitive tasks, but their rigid scripts and brittleness lead to more manual intervention than automation. Bots break easily, and maintenance costs often outweigh the benefits.

SaaS platforms like Salesforce and Slack were supposed to simplify workflows, but they often turn employees into operators, managing complex configurations and manual data entry. The promise of "do more with less" remains unfulfilled.

There’s no research paper that will tell you how to design your cloud architecture in the best way to support your specific business needs. In the same way there is no research paper that will tell you the best way to design your agentic system to solve your specific problems.

The problem with research papers is that they’re not grounded in reality solving practical problems. If you’re looking to use AI agents to solve real problems don’t look for insights in research papers.
