Where you are now isn't your final destination.

"Current judgments don't define future potential" a truth to live by

Why?

Because every master was once a beginner.

Remember, progress is a journey, not just a destination.

Ignore the naysayers

Focus on your growth

Your potential is unlimited

Starting to hire and retrain for new agent engineering roles for *internal* functions to help get more powerful agents working well on critical business processes. I expect this type of role to be a very big deal over time at Box and other companies.

It looks something like an internal FDE, whose job it is to wire up internal systems and get agents working with them effectively. The person will be extremely technical and capable of building secure, governed agents for internal workflows that connect to business systems (like Box, Salesforce, Workday, etc.), and codify workflows in skills.

In some cases this person may understand the business process well enough to do it fully, but in most cases I expect them to work with the business directly in an embedded fashion. Ironically, that may introduce another new role on the business side that is more akin to agent product management for internal processes. The key is that you need technical + process people that can span multiple teams or functions in an organization. It’s not about brining automation to a job, but bringing automation to a process.

This is going to be a very big trend in most companies going forward. Fun to watch the early innings of what this will look like.

@nikitabier Love this update. Can @X do this for sports teams? The ESPN app has become unusable slow and hard to find info and videos.

Silicon Valley thinks AI agents are a $20/mo self-serve subscription.

Main Street is paying local agencies $10,000 just to turn them on.

Everyone assumes AI will be bought primarily online like Slack or Zoom. I think they are wrong.

Some of the biggest winners in the AI boom won't be the software vendors. It will be the humans installing it.

Here is the reality of SMBs right now:
• 54% lack internal AI expertise.
• 41% have data quality too poor for AI to even work.
• 41% already prefer buying AI through a local IT provider.

You cannot "1-click install" a genius AI into a messy CRM or a 15-year-old server. It will just execute the wrong tasks at the speed of light.

The AI software will be cheap and a lot will absolutely be bought online. Making it actually work for a messy, real-world business will be expensive.

Very bullish on the "Do It For Me" economy being back.
