Zapier explains AI agent orchestration: the problem of ad-hoc agents scattered across docs, Slack, and half-built automations, and how coordinating them under one plan beats relying on a single do-everything agent.
Operator takeaway: If you've added a few AI tools and they don't talk to each other, this frames the fix — coordinate specialized agents around a process instead of stacking more standalone bots.

Dental Cyber Watch's third live episode tackles the 'AI graveyard' — dental groups buying AI tools nobody uses and feeding patient data into platforms nobody controls.

Zapier argues teams should measure the value AI delivers, not how many tokens employees burn, pushing back on 'use AI enough' metrics and runaway bills.
