30 Months on the Exponential (in Charts)
Writing a second book on AI (Co-Existence) 30 months after the first (Co-Intelligence), the author used agentic AI (Opus 5.5 in Claude Projects) to generate charts and graphics for the book. Unlike earlier workflow involving step-by-step chat guidance, modern agentic systems orchestrate multiple agents to complete research, graphing, layouts, citations and image work in minutes. The author notes this capability shift exemplifies how far AI has advanced, while also catching a mathematical error the author had made, demonstrating both efficiency gains and residual quality control needs.
Key points
- Agentic AI orchestrates multi-step tasks without step-by-step human guidance.
- Claude Projects completed hours of chart work in minutes.
- Demonstrates evolution from chatbot to autonomous agent paradigm.
