People Still Need to Make the Decisions with Andrew Odewahn

AI can identify trade-offs, but people still have to decide what to do. In this excerpt from his recent conversation with Tim O’Reilly, O’Reilly CTO Andrew Odewahn explains why his team’s review process needed more than a report in Google Docs. The comments held objections and context that his research agent couldn’t access. But with documents and discussion in a versioned workflow, the agent can summarize consensus and incorporate feedback without losing earlier decisions. Andrew also shows how a graph view helps him track conversations and unresolved questions across engineering.
