Currage Insights are written for operators: CEOs, founders, product leaders, and architects who need clarity without noise. This essay is designed to be practical—specific enough to act on, broad enough to guide strategy.
From automation to autonomy
Enterprise automation used to mean scripts and workflows. Agents change the shape of work: they can plan, act, and coordinate across systems under defined constraints.
The win is not replacing humans; it’s compressing cycle time and reducing coordination overhead.
- Start with narrow domains (support triage, data quality, reporting).
- Put humans in the loop until reliability is proven.
- Treat prompts, tools, and policies like code.
Architecture: tools, memory, and guardrails
A useful agent needs three components: tools (APIs it can call), memory (context and state), and guardrails (what it must never do).
Without guardrails, agents become risk multipliers. With them, they become leverage.
- Log every action; make auditability non-negotiable.
- Use role-based permissions and scoped tokens.
- Set budget limits for time, cost, and actions.
