Agent Wrangler

[ SLANG ][ AGENT CULTURE ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Agent CultureCLUSTER: AI Work Roles

Predicted term for a worker whose job has effectively become managing and supervising a set of AI agents rather than doing the underlying task work the agents perform.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"My job title still says developer, but I'm really an agent wrangler at this point."

LORE & ORIGIN

Anticipated occupational framing paralleling Slop Janitor, naming the point where overseeing agents — reviewing their output, resolving conflicts, restarting stuck loops — becomes a job in itself.
