Working with Agentic `Teammates': When a New Organizational Actor Collides with the Human Ecosystem of Work

The paper reports an in‑situ qualitative study of a persistent, proactive AI teammate deployed across multiple teams in a large technology company. It finds that the human‑agent workplace is in flux, with breakdowns and negotiations emerging around tacit workflow rules, the relational boundaries of the non‑human actor, and the redistribution of trust and human agency. These micro‑negotiations are used to propose a new research, design, and organizational agenda that seeks to preserve human agency when sharing workspaces with non‑human actors.

Human-AI Coordination Zones: A Framework for Designing Human-in-the-Loop Experiences with Agentic AI

arXiv:2606. 09848v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As generative and agentic AI becomes embedded in everyday products, practitioners face a persistent challenge: how to design human-AI coordination -- the ongoing mutual adjustment between users and AI systems as mediate through interfaces-that supports usability, trust, and safety.

Professional Software Developers Don't Vibe, They Control: AI Agent Use for Coding in 2025

The paper titled "Professional Software Developers Don't Vibe, They Control: AI Agent Use for Coding in 2025" examines how experienced developers employ AI agents in software development. Through field observations and surveys, it finds that developers value agents for productivity but maintain control over design and implementation to ensure quality. They use agents as collaborative tools rather than full delegation, selecting tasks based on suitability and leveraging their expertise to guide agent behavior.

Defining AI Agents: A Compendium of Criteria, Metrics, and Benchmarks

The article "Defining AI Agents: A Compendium of Criteria, Metrics, and Benchmarks" surveys the lack of a standard definition for AI agents and organizes this ambiguity into five dimensions: environmental interaction, learning and adaptation, autonomy, goal‑directed behavior, and temporal coherence. It reviews how each dimension has been conceptualized in prior work and compiles the metrics, benchmarks, and evaluation frameworks used to assess them. The authors also introduce the Agent Compendium, a public digital resource that extends these evaluation methods, aiming to provide a common structure for evaluating and comparing agent capabilities across AI systems.
