What four people at Hostinger actually do with AI all day (and what happens when you have an agentic beef)hostinger.com

Hostinger staff use custom AI agents to automate daily tasks—from code reviews to influencer lead sourcing—shifting their work from doing the work to managing the agents. Building reliable “harnesses” (prompt contexts, constraints) consumes most of the engineering effort, and agents still hallucinate, repeat work, or suggest unsafe fixes, so human oversight remains essential.
