Reasoning or switches?

Nico Lafakis · Monday, October 19, 2026

Does this job need AI, or does it need a switch? Use a model where you need reasoning, some kind of synthesis. For a task status change, "we're talking about one and zero change." There's no reasoning to do there. Create channels and flippers and switches and let an automation handle it, which becomes more reliable because it's "a hard set program. It's not a reasoning model that could potentially make a different decision one day." You get a test for where AI belongs in a process and where plain automation does the job better. Which of your automations is secretly a reasoning problem, and which is just a switch? Replay clip from Hubsessed Office Hours: AI-Native. Trisha and I hosted.
