Grok Bot vs an ops contractor

Ops contractors build systems; Bots run routines. Why the two aren't competing, and how a contractor should set up Bots so you don't need them forever.

Short answerAn ops contractor designs the process; a Bot executes it. If your contractor is spending their hours doing routines instead of designing them, give the routines to a Bot and the contractor a shorter engagement.
