Sharon Workman's profile on Product Hunt

About

I am passionate about building great brands, telling stories, creating new ways of doing business, inspiring consumers with big ideas, leveraging new technologies, media, partnerships and platforms: digital, analog and everything in-between. I love exploring new ways to achieve this, with methods that are data-driven, idea-centric and buzzword-agnostic. I believe that it's a marketer's job to connect the dots between where we are now and where we want to be. Nothing is impossible. The best work elicits goosebumps and tears; heartstrings are often a good predictor of bottom lines. Brands are replaceable, but Lovemarks are forever.

Desktop AI for ops is still subsidized. What happens when users pay the bill?

I'd like to share an opinion on the current situation in AI ops, not the coding/tech side.

Right now the market has a pretty clear pattern. Big labs like OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI are building their own desktop AI and computer-use apps. The trick is they still treat this segment as Growth. Maturity is far away. So the biggest players burn money acquiring customers and giving them huge subsidies on tokens vs real cost.

Today the world is getting a huge AI bill, mostly paid by investors. We're running on debt. If there is no real breakthrough, math doesn't lie, there will have to be a cost-effective compromise. Using heavy models for coding is justified. Using them for the simplest things in operations is not, economically.

What's the last thing your agent still hands back to you?

We build agents all day, and the thing I keep noticing is that they almost never fail in the middle. They fail at the very last step, when something has to happen in the real world.
Ours kept dying in the same spot: a signup form that texts a six-digit code. Everything up to that point ran fine, and then it just sat there waiting for a human to go and read a text message.
I'm curious what everyone else's version of this is. Not the thing your agent does badly - the thing it does perfectly, right up until it has to stop and hand it back to you.
Verification codes? A booking that only happens by phone? A supplier who answers email once a week? Something that needs an actual human voice on the other end?
Mostly I want to know whether the wall sits in the same place for everyone, or whether it moves depending on what you're building.
