Last month, I let an AI Agent handle my warehouse's daily scheduling, and it messed up the orders so badly we almost missed customer deliveries. Honestly, I wanted to 'fire' it on the spot. But later I realized the problem wasn't the AI—it was me. Today, I want to share what I learned from that failure: the best practice for AI Agents isn't making them 'superheroes,' but 'co-pilots.'
