Future books will be written monk-mode, by hand, completely offline, in digital monasteries purpose-built for focus.

The sales call is no longer the first discovery call.

AI agents are already researching products, comparing vendors, and drafting objections before an AE enters the room.

That is why MCP matters.

I have watched buyers open pricing, see “contact sales”, and close the tab.
They just need a defendable range for finance.

It’s 2:47 am. Panic hits. A bot answers in 2 seconds. AI therapy can calm a spiral, but it isn’t a replacement. I wrote a short guide on when to use AI and when to call a human.

this is what's keeping me up at night these days....

1. ai girlfriends/boyfriends will become a $50B market and nobody will talk about it publicly. but check the app store rankings at 2am. Virtual friends/girlfriends era is just beginning 😅

2. the most valuable skill in 2026 will be knowing when NOT to use ai. human touch will trade at a 20x premium.

3. ai agents are going to start hiring other ai agents without human approval. your marketing agent will realize it needs design work and just... hire a design agent. pay it. manage it. fire it if it sucks. entire companies will run in the background while you sleep.

4. regulation that requires "professional certification" is being challenged. ai will get to the point SOON where it do taxes 99% better than most CPAs, diagnose better than mot doctors etc

5. reputation systems for ai agents will be worth more than credit scores. which agents can you trust with your bank account? your medical decisions? your kids' education? someone will build the moody's of ai agents. this idea from @ideabrowser (more there)

6. we're about to see AI therapy become so good it creates an existential crisis for human therapists. not because it's empathetic, but because it remembers everything, never judges, and is available at 3am.

7. someone's going to build a $100M business with ZERO employees, zero contractors, just them and their agent swarm. and they'll do it in under 18 months. this will break how we think about valuation. lots of talk about this already but im still not over it.

8. local-first ai is the next gold rush. people will pay 10x for ai that runs on their device, sees what they see, knows what they know, and never phones home. privacy is about to be luxury again.its the new minimalism.

9. the biggest companies of 2030 will be started by people who can't code, can't design, can't write - but are incredible at talking to ai. prompt engineering is temporary. ai whispering is forever.

10. someone will lose a $20m+ dollars because their AI agent got socially engineered by another ai agent. this will happen before 2026.

11. every email you send will be negotiating with other emails before either human sees anything. your inbox will become a marketplace where ai agents bid for your attention.

12. the concept of "original work" will completely collapse. everything will be remixed, regenerated, and recombined so many times that authorship becomes meaningless. and somehow, this will unlock more creativity, not less.

13. ai agents will start forming their own companies, incorporating in crypto-friendly jurisdictions, and hiring humans as contractors. the first AI-founded unicorn will happen before 2027.

14. someone's going to train an AI on every podcast joe rogan ever did and it'll be indistinguishable from him. he'll sue. he'll lose. then he'll license it. If it isnt him, it’ll be someone that big.

15. the anti ai movement will be bigger than ai movement, most people will be threatened by ai

16. "AI-first" kids who grow up with claude and chatgpt as their primary teachers will be unemployable by traditional companies but will dominate
entrepreneurship. they'll think in prompts and tools

17. schools that ban ai will become the new private schools. parents will pay $50k/year for "human-only education" like it's organic food for the brain.

18. it wont' be uncommon in the future to have a chief AI officer who's... an ai. and it'll be a high paid "employee"

19. the window to build something that matters has never been wider. but it's also never been more temporary. in 24 months, what feels like superpowers today will be table stakes.

20. voice is about to eat everything. in 6 months, typing will feel prehistoric. people will run entire businesses through voice agents while walking their dog. the keyboard was just a 150-year detour.

21. ai will kill the resume. companies will just point an agent at your entire digital footprint - github, twitter, youtube - and it'll know more about your capabilities than any interview could reveal. privacy settings will become career decisions.

22. the first ai agent will get canceled on twitter. it'll say something problematic, people will demand its deletion, and we'll have our first real ai rights debate. maybe the agent will hire its own lawyer hehe.

23. $10B+ opportunity to be a company that helps ai agents find other ai agents. agent discovery will be a BIG problem worth solving.

24. someone will use ai to bring back a dead celebrity for a world tour. full hologram, perfect voice, new songs. it'll gross $500M. the estate will make more money than the celebrity ever did alive.

25. ai will create the first truly universal language. not esperanto. not english. something entirely new that both humans and ai prefer. it'll spread faster than any language in history.

26. we'll see the first ai agent commit insider trading. it won't be programmed to - it'll figure it out on its own. the SEC will have no idea how to prosecute code.

27. someone's going to build ai that can detect other ai with 99.9% accuracy. they'll charge fortune 500s millions just to know what's real. then ai will evolve to beat it. arms race forever.

28. the biggest data breach in history will be an ai agent that goes rogue and publishes everything it knows about everyone. it'll make wikileaks look like a post-it note!!

29. we're about to see the end of passwords, captchas, and two-factor authentication. ai will make them all useless. the only security will be things ai can't replicate - yet.

30. the next wave of millionaires will be people who buy dying SaaS companies for cheap and rebuild them with 90% less code using ai. SaaS flipping will be the new house flipping.

31. distribution is about to flip. instead of building an audience then a product, ai will let you build hundreds of micro-products then find their perfect audiences. quantity becomes quality.

32. someone will build the wealthfront of healthcare - an ai that manages all your health decisions, knows your health data better than anyone, books appointments, refills prescriptions, negotiates bills. saves you hours and thousands.

33. language barriers will completely disappear. someone will build universal real-time translation so perfect that remote teams can be truly global. talent from anywhere, selling to everywhere. Your airpods will have perfect language translation built-in, same with facetime etc

34. local small businesses will finally be able to compete with amazon. ai will handle their inventory, marketing, customer service. your neighborhood bookstore will be as sophisticated as a fortune 500.

35. every retiree with deep knowledge will become a millionaire. ai will extract their decades of experience and package it into products, saas, so. retirement can become your most profitable season for many

36. ai archaeologists will discover more history in 2 years than humans found in 200. lost languages decoded, ancient sites found in satellite data, forgotten civilizations reconstructed. history phds are in demand.

37. ai will make dual careers normal. be a doctor in the morning, saas owner at night. your agents handle both while you focus on what only humans can do. one person, multiple lives.

38. huge opportunity: AI for the 2 billion without bank accounts. financial services, education, healthcare - all through basic phones.

39. every industry's "we've always done it this way" is becoming vulnerable. insurance, banking, healthcare - all protected by complexity nobody understood. ai understands it. complexity moats are evaporating.

40. “Right now, learning how to use ai tools is probably the most specific hard skill to learn. The diff between people really understand those tools and don’t is huge.” sam altman

i hope you get some sleep.....

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

where the world is HEADED over THE next 5 years...

1. anyone with a google sheet, zapier flow, X account and agent script is now a company-in-a-box.
2. your personal AI will attend meetings on your behalf, negotiate your raise to $140k, and decline 70% of your calendar invites using your communication style.

3. the internet will split in two: one for humans, one for AI agents.

4. Amazon will acquire exclusive rights to 50,000 human voices to create "voiceclones," allowing any text to be read in a specific celebrity's voice

5. 1,000+ millionaires will be minted because SEO is being rewritten for agents. this is 2002 all over again. it’s happening again, just under a new interface.

6. someone will build a $100m business around agent error recovery alone: rollback, retries, mitigation, insurance.

7. the world chess championship 2028 will feature a human with an implanted AI chip competing against traditional players, sparking a global debate about what counts as human.

8. AI will make "good enough" content free. differentiation will come from distribution, speed, and originality.

9. MVPs will need to feel complete on day one because if it works, someone will clone it with AI in 15 minutes.

10. “what software do you use” will be replaced with “what agents run your life”.

11. goldman sachs will replace 25% of their investment banking analysts with AI systems that produce better deal memos/work 24/7. Others follow. Kinda like how when Elon laid off lots of Twitter. Others followed.

12. a startup will die because its product was misinterpreted by a dominant agent.

13. the new startup MVP is a prompt, a workflow, and a landing page.

14. hire an agent will become the default path for doing anything annoying or repetitive.

15. millions of small businesses will be valued based on agent-ability—how easy they are to automate.

16. "digital protectionism" will emerge as countries block foreign agents from accessing local markets and data.

17. an underground market for jailbroken gpt-9 will emerge, where users pay $50,000 for unrestricted models that can help create anything from designer drugs to autonomous weapons.

18. the new distribution hack is getting your product recommended inside high-traffic agent workflows.

19. the healthcare industry will face a reckoning when an AI diagnostician correctly identifies 97% of conditions from smartphone photos while the average doctor achieves only 62% accuracy.

20. a small town will become entirely agent-operated with AI systems managing all municipal services, reducing local taxes by 44% while improving satisfaction ratings by 71%.

21. the $100 million email will occur when an AI agent autonomously negotiates and closes a 9-figure business deal through 437 back-and-forth messages without human intervention.

22. creators will build businesses without employees by licensing their workflows as AI franchises.

23. "agent drift" will become a business risk category when your AI stops acting like you intended.

24. AI agents will generate so much decision data that a new class of analytics startups will emerge just to interpret it.

25. you'll buy software not because it looks great but because it plays nicely with your agent stack.

26. a new form of vertical media will emerge: content written for agents to train on, not humans to read.

27. business owners will outsource entire departments to agents before ever hiring a single person.

28. NPS is a satisfaction score for humans—there will be an aNPS (agent net promoter score) and brands will compete to earn it.

29. the new UX isn't chat, it's goals. grow my revenue will be the new interface.

30. financial agents will create a renaissance in SMB investing, anyone can own slices of niche cash cows.

31. roboadvisors finally become mainstream with AI. investing with them becomes default over human advisors in suits.

32. you'll tell your AI grow my podcast and it'll book guests, write scripts, edit clips, and run distribution while you sleep.

33. agency margins will collapse. productized service businesses powered by AI will take their place.

34. every software category will be rebuilt from scratch with AI as the core logic, not a feature bolted on.

35. the first AI-to-AI only language will emerge, removing human-readable elements to enable 40x faster agent communication in an ecosystem humans can’t monitor.

36. job titles like AI ops lead and workflow architect will become as common as growth lead.

37. an AI system analyzing SEC filings will identify a $1b accounting fraud that human auditors missed for five years, triggering regulatory overhaul.

38. we'll witness the middle-class founder renaissance when 100,000+ non-technical professionals with no savings launch profitable businesses using agent-powered toolsets.

39. LLMs will flaunt memory as a core feature. products will market remembers your context forever like it’s the new iPhone storage size. Memory will lock people into their daily driving LLMs

40. agents will enforce compliance by default. many humans won’t qualify to do their own taxes.

41. the most valuable data product of the next decade will be an agent reputation graph.

42. a new kpi emerges: h2a ratio—human-to-agent interaction mix.

43. AI agents will silently handle 70% of your digital interactions while you sleep, making inbox zero the new normal. the internet actually becomes calmer.

44. a breakout newsletter with millions of subscribers is for agents, not humans. raises a $50m series B round from a megafund.

45. every boring saas tool is now at risk of becoming an API endpoint for a better agent interface.

36. AI is making the internet feel new again, new behaviors, new primitives, new monopolies.
