[Openid-aiim-usecases] Interesting read for AI use cases - Steven C. Webster on moltbook.com

[Alex Babeanu]

Thanks for sharing, Vlad!  It must be a mem: someone else in my
network shared this Agent social network site with me this week too.

As for our up-coming meeting Thursday, I am currently travelling and won't
be able to attend our meeting Thursday. Can someone please volunteer for
note-taking in my absence? I can provide pointers, please ping me
separately if need be.

For the agenda, I propose:
- Discuss homework from last time: best way to identify Agents
- Agent Social Networks - Vlad's article
- Review Bertrand's draft use-cases

I also found the following older post by Anthropic to be quite interesting
from a use-case perspective: it enumerates the types of Agentic Workflows
and when to use them:

All the best,
