Agentic AI in Action: Real Stories from the Frontlines of Workflow Automation with David Hirschfeld

Описание: What does it really look like when Agentic AI systems are integrated into some modern software teams? In this episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we sit down with David Hirschfeld—founder and CEO—to unpack real-world experiences with Agentic AI, prompt engineering, and workflow automation in dev environments.

This is not a theoretical discussion. David brings firsthand stories of building and deploying AI-powered agents. We explore the hands-on challenges and breakthroughs that come with treating AI like a junior developer, giving it structured workflows, and designing systems that can improve with feedback.

Highlights include:
Is “prompt engineering” dead?
What Agentic AI is doing right now to reduce busywork and boost flow and what are the current shortcomings
How AI agents can integrate with tools like Jira and Slack
The cultural shifts needed to make AI part of your agile team
Pitfalls of over-reliance on AI and the importance of confidence thresholds (e.g., big bang AI slop vs. small batch AI with verified output)
How voice and vision AI are expanding what’s possible in software development
When to automate, when to augment, and when to stay manual
The surprising power of “smart laziness” in engineering productivity
Lessons from real teams automating their development processes

Whether you’re a dev, product manager, or just AI-curious, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how agentic systems are being used today—not in the future—to transform engineering work.
