A PM's Guide to AI Agent Architecture: Why Capability Doesn't Equal Adoption

AI agent success depends less on raw capability (accuracy, speed) and more on architectural decisions that build user trust, particularly through intelligent context management and graceful escalation rather than attempting to solve every problem autonomously.
