ON_Discourse Group Chat: Seven Agents and a Newsroom with Time's COO, Mark Howard

​Provocation: Who runs the newsletter when the agents do the work?

​Every publisher is asking the same question. How do you keep making the thing without drowning in the making of it? Most answers so far have been theoretical. Mark Howard, COO and Michael Mraz, Chief Product Officer of Time are going to share a live study of what they have recently rolled out.

​Mark and his team have built an operational agentic workflow with seven agents, live on Beehiiv, running Time's newsletter business. Early stage, but it's real and operational. It's one of the first serious attempts inside a legacy publisher to let agents do the work between the idea and the send.

​For this session, Mark walks us through what the seven agents actually do, what's working, and what's not and where the humans remain invaluable in the loop.

​ON_Discourse Group Chats are live, high-signal discourse driven conversations with AI leaders, builders and operators.

​Not your typical Zoom, these are intimate, provocative, deeply practical sessions where we sharpen each others perspectives.
