How do you handle AI's limitations when it comes to getting things done?
A while back, I noticed a problem: AI is great at starting tasks but not at finishing them.
It drafts, automates, and processes, but when it comes to real execution? Humans still make the difference.
We've seen AI generate ideas, summarize documents, and even write code, but can it truly be trusted to complete a job without human intervention?
Whether it's marketing, design, writing, or development, AI often does the grunt work, but experts still need to refine and execute.
This gap between AI assistance and human expertise is exactly where platforms like Waxwing.ai (marketplace for Human + AI Agents) and Agent.ai (marketplace for AI agents) come in.
I discovered and hunted both, but I am slightly leaning more on Waxwing because AI can only give you output, Human + AI gives you the outcome.
What do you think? Have you ever hired AI-powered professionals?

AI is the Smart Assistant and Fasten the task but always Need the Human Collab . In Every Field AI suggests the Idea and Human Pick best one
what do you think AI work Best Alone?
@rohanrecommends I Completely agree with you on this- AI is brilliant at optimizing workflows but it still struggles with the nuances of execution. The real challenge isn’t just automation rather it’s judgment, context, and adaptability. That’s why Human + AI feels like the next logical step. I’m curious as to where do you see AI making the biggest leap in closing this EXECUTION GAP? Any industries where you think it’s surprisingly close?

Waxwing founder chiming in! As a lifelong techy, I love what AI brings to the table: faster workflows, automated insights, instant drafts. But here’s the catch: AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Without real human insight—someone who understands brand voice, nuance, and big-picture strategy—AI’s outputs can feel generic or out of context.
Meanwhile, going the purely human route can be slow, especially when you’re juggling multiple freelancers who each need to be caught up on every project detail.
That’s why we believe in pairing the two: let AI handle repetitive tasks, and let qualified experts refine the results. It’s about cutting out the busywork so humans can do what they do best—bring creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking to the table.

It seems that AI has the same problem as me – I am good at starting things, but it is worse for finishing them :D
I believe the main advantage of AI comes from the ability to iterate quickly through drafts, while I retaining the high-level thinking ability. Also good for keeping our brain's longevity.
