Sangyu Xi profile

Hello,
I'm Sangyu

Every major computing shift changes how humans collaborate:
Personal computers changed documents;
Smartphones changed communication;
AI agents will change work itself.

My work explores how humans and autonomous agents collaborate, delegate, build trust, and accomplish more together.
