AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Key quotes
“An AI tool is only as useful as the first thing you point it at, and most people never work out what that is.”
“They come with all these great AI capabilities, but they don't really have any initial use case that you can use them for.”
Eddie Kim
“Four engineers and one designer built it in 10 weeks with no Figma, no standups, no JIRA, and a nine-minute median code review across 1,000 pull requests.”
“We kind of solve that blank canvas problem, and we even suggest to the customer, I notice you do this, what if we automate this for you?”
