From coding to Knowledge work agents — Karan Vaidya, Composio

Karan Vaidya of Composio explains why AI agents have excelled in software engineering but struggle in other knowledge work domains. He identifies six critical primitives—centralization, history, context, verification, governance, and reversibility—that coding inherently provides but are largely absent in general knowledge work, hindering agent effectiveness and trust. The current bottleneck for AI agents is not the models, but the missing infrastructure around them.
