I'm curious how people are thinking about ROI from agents beyond productivity. A lot of the discussion is still around "this saved me 3 hours" (in some cases wasted more lol) or "this automated a workflow." That's obviously useful, but it feels like a limited way to measure value.
For people using agents seriously, are you tracking anything beyond time saved?
like for example:
- did the agent create something reusable?
- did it improve a workflow over time?
- did it generate outputs that had value outside the original task?
- did it create something others would pay for?
- did it help produce knowledge, decisions, or execution that compounds?
I'm especially interested in people using agents for coding, research, business ops, content, data work, or niche expert workflows.
just want to hear from everyone what does "agent ROI" actually mean to you?
