Part 1: Deep domain understanding
The semantic core of AI agents | New series: beyond the chatbot
The shift from general-purpose AI to highly specialized agents is underway.
However, before an agent can perform a task, it must first understand the world in which it operates.
This isn't just about data; it's about the unique language, rules, and context of a specific industry.
Think of it as the difference between speaking a language and understanding its cultural nuances. This is the foundation upon which all high-impact AI agents will be built. As we move into this era of specialization, we must also consider the principles that will govern it, including AI safety.
This new series of articles will explore the four pillars of this new era:
1. Deep domain understanding (this part)
2. The art and science of context engineering
3. Orchestration and enterprise data integration
4. Specialized user interfaces and human-in-the-loop design
