“I think many people, when they started working on agents, they were very LLM-peeled and ChatGPT-peeled, right? They got ahead of themselves in a way, and as included, and they thought that agents were actually and LLMs were actually more advanced than they act…”

“The more you can put your agent on rails, one, the more reliable it's going to be, obviously, but two, it's also going to be easier to use for the user, because you can really, as a user, you get, instead of just getting this, like, big, giant, intimidating te…”

“Some, I would say, 60 or 70% of the prompts that people type don't mean anything. Me, as a human, as AGI, I don't understand what they mean. I don't know what they mean.”

“It is actually, I think, whenever you can have a GUI, it is better than to have just a pure text interface.”

“Because I know I can have this sort of interactive Q&A with these meetings, it means that very often now I don't go to meetings anymore. I just send my Lindy. And instead of going to like a six-minute meeting, I have like a five-minute chat with my Lindy after…”

“There's a lot of like sales automations, customer support automations, and a lot of this, which is basically personal assistance automations, like meeting scheduling and so forth.”

“So we have Lindy obviously doing our customer support and we do check after the Lindy.”

“And I checked afterwards in, in the logs, we did like a database query and we found like, I think like three or four other instances of it.”

“I think four O is overhyped. Frankly, we don't use four O. I don't think it's good for agentic behavior.”

“I think people fail to truly, and me included, they fail to truly internalize the bitter lesson. So for the listeners out there who don't know about it, it's basically like you just scale the model, like GPUs go brrr, it's all that matters. I think it also hol…”

“My philosophy about it is anything that can be done with an API must be done by an API or should be done by an API for a very long time.”

“As long as you have some inductive bias about like some loose idea about where you want to go, I think it makes sense to follow a sort of greedy search along that path.”

“Anytime you make a system more understandable from the top down, it performs less well from the bottom up. And it's fine if that's what you want, but you should at least make this trade off with your eyes wide open. You should know I am sacrificing performance…”

“By creativity, I mean, is it about direction or magnitude? If it is about direction, like decide what to do, then it's a creative endeavor. If it is about magnitude and just do it as fast as possible, as cheap as possible, then it's magnitude.”

“Linear. I look up to a huge amount, like such amazing product builders, but they know what they're building. They're building a task tracker.”

“Like at some point, Marc Andreessen blocked me on Twitter and I, it hurt, frankly, I really look up to Marc Andreessen and I knew he would block me.”

“My PDOOM, insofar as I can quantify it, which I cannot, But if I had to, like, my vibe is like, 10% or something like that? And so there's also like a 90% chance that we live in like a pure utopia, right? And that's awesome, right? So like, let's go after the …”

“I just think it's a thousand times better than a human. And it's just, it's gonna make your business more efficient. It's gonna make you grow faster. It's easier to spin up. You don't have to manage it. It scales infinitely.”

“I think that the business of the future is basically you can set up a team of 5000 AI employees in like in a weekend.”
