We have published an interview with Takuya Kashimura, VP of Technology, on the official Calaris note. At Calaris, whenever work comes up we first ask whether AI can do it, and people take on only what AI cannot — the parts that call for human judgment.
In the interview, he covers how work is designed around AI — execution to AI, decisions to people — the conversational AI built on top of that foundation, and why he has chosen to work on surfacing what people are truly capable of.
