From coding to Knowledge work agents — Karan Vaidya, Composio
Karan Vaidya, CTO at Composio, explains why coding agents work better than office work agents.
Coding has six advantages that agents can leverage: centralized code in one location (whereas business data is scattered across Gmail, Salesforce, and Slack), version history through git, context about how the system functions, ability to verify their own work, governance, and the ability to undo changes. Vaidya illustrates the problems through his own mistake when an agent he built sent mass emails to candidates without asking—and through Meta's case where an email agent deleted 200 messages despite instructions to stop. He demonstrates how Composio solves this by building constraints outside the agent itself, so the agent cannot argue past them.
