Why Agents Make Every Job a Startup
About this episode
<p>AI was supposed to save time, but agents have done something stranger — they've made the infinite backlog of everything you <em>could</em> be doing feel immediate and urgent, creating a mix of exhilaration and overwhelm that looks a lot like founding a startup. This episode unpacks why that's happening, what new constraints replace the old ones, and the new roles and organizational structures that will need to emerge to make the agentic era actually work.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>April AI Usage Pulse Survey: </strong><a href="https://tally.so/r/LZEyGy">https://tally.so/r/LZEyGy</a></p><p><strong>SIGN UP FOR OUR NEW FREE PROGRAM: AGENTOS</strong></p><p><a href="https://aidbagentos.ai/">https://aidbagentos.ai/</a></p><p><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p><strong>KPMG</strong> – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG’s new paper, <em>Agentic AI Untangled</em>, gives leaders a clear framework to decide whether to build, buy, or borrow—download it at <a href="http://www.kpmg.us/Navigate">www.kpmg.us/Navigate</a></p><p><strong>Granola - </strong>The AI notepad for people in back-to-back meetings. 100% off your first 3 months with code AIDAILY at <a href="http://granola.ai/aidaily">http://granola.ai/aidaily</a></p><p><strong>Mercury</strong> - Modern banking for business and now personal accounts.
