AI agents now handle real work, yet individual productivity gains rarely translate into organizational results. In this live, interactive discussion, Atlassian Chief Product and AI Officer Tamar Yehoshua explains how to design products and workflows where agents and people work well together.
AI agents can now take on assignments, operate within business systems, and complete work once handled by people. The difficult questions belong to leaders: which work suits agents, what these systems need to succeed, and who is accountable when they fail. In Episode 930, Michael Krigsman talks with Tamar Yehoshua, Chief Product and AI Officer at Atlassian, who has led product organizations at Google Search, Slack, and Glean and now directs AI strategy for software used across most of the Fortune 500.
