AI agent

“Our thesis is oh, soon we're gonna see millions of these agents I would say from the internet, so AI that can act and do stuff on behalf of us, on behalf of users, and we will use them for various things and tasks, and we think they will need payment capabilit…”

“And now these AI agent comes, and they're between the authentication and the actual purchase, the actual click for the buy. So, but the user isn't pressing the button anymore. The software is basically, and that shifts, I would say, a key question on authoriza…”

“The bot prevention that these websites usually have, and we realized there's kind of an inherent friction in general. These flows assume there's a human, kind of, that taps by.”

“And I was talking to their CTO A couple of weeks ago, and he essentially said the AI agents on the technology side and development side are saving him. So saving him so much time that he doesn't, he was thinking of having an additional couple head counts that …”

“When you create a small task and not be generalist and get in and monitor its performance, look at the success of it, tell it when it did it right. And when it didn't do it correctly, the learning curve is incredible. The performance is it outpaces human capac…”

“On a daily basis right now, we use From your definition, right? AI co-pilot to make us to do better job faster, but we haven't fully automate anything, like completely anything”

“We're leveraging the AI in a way that we're actually building right now that, you know, when we're fundraising, they have a lot of questions that they want to ask. And, you know, some people like talk to us. Some people like to play inside the data room a litt…”

“Well, definitely agents. I mean, like, they're kind of along the same flavor, right? Co-pilots assist, and agents can, like, kind of automate the workflow. I think there's tremendous opportunities in both of them, but when you say agents, it kind of more close…”

“Taking up 30, 40% of workload across tasks is definitely a reality we're seeing right now, both internally and with some of the network and partners that we have.”

“Every team should have an agentic bot that is starting maybe as a junior, becomes a senior, becomes a manager with their capabilities.”

“Yeah, it's five and 10 years tough, but the next year, I think, is going to be a lot of us finally cresting the hill of getting past working with chatbots and maybe having to do a little bit of deep research, which is our first agentic flow, in truly taking ov…”

“The companies who are winning are the ones who have excellent understanding of their internal operations of how these things work, and they can go, well, we do this, and it's not quite an assembly line. There's still creativity and maybe the results or the jud…”

“The other problem I see is the constant reward mechanism of keep the conversation going of it always asks you a follow-up, which is not great for workflows. I want my workflow to stop, not to continuously work.”

“And that's where they're bringing ROI. It's not in co-pilots to ask information about your handbook. It's about agents actually doing work for your team.”

“If somebody can ask the agent to make arbitrary tool calls, you really just need to make sure that those APIs and systems it's calling are properly secured versus trusting the AI is only going to make the right calls there.”

“So stepping in there with policy that says do not go on this, that's a big deal for things in the medical setting where you may have, you know, people use the word guardrails to talk about AI where they're like, we're going to put guardrails so it doesn't do t…”

“I mean, we originally were started because we saw an AI agent perform some pretty bad harm to some teenagers that were trying to seek help. And that's where we were like, well this is going to be a common pattern. So let's make sure it doesn't go that way.”

“We do see a lot of the individual contributor jobs being automated away in a sense, right? So people who are doing rote repetitive tasks and just kind of, you know, one of my friends describes it as labor that scales with the business model. So if you're scali…”

“And I think the time is not far when you would have, you know, bolt-ons or even GCCs that'll have no people. You can Do it in your backyard. You can do it on your computer, and you know, ah, so I think it's coming.”

“If people are looking for investment or what's going to happen next, I think you'll begin to see this year and probably next A huge sort of investment and deployment of systems for coordinating many agents.”

“Overall we expect that on this planet Earth, we will have at least three hundred million non biological employees AI employees, AI receptionists basically almost every single business in the world which is big enough to have a website or big enough to have a b…”

“We understand AI agents will work actually along with humans. It will be a real cooperation which is happening actually already now. Human first, AI second, or AI first, human second, but it, in 99% of our cases, it's a cooperation.”

“And so absolutely having a kill switch to make sure that when or if things do go wrong, that you can act and do or take appropriate action is, is, is critical.”

“A hundred percent.”

“AI in general unlocks a lot of potential in people who didn't know how to write code. So in, in recent years, we've seen a number of startups that are rising from, you know, from the ground up with like solo founders using AI agents, like 10 different AI agent…”

“We have a number of agents, like we have 17 different quality control agents that are able to detect specific issues that are regularly reoccurring.”

“I think what we've found is really interesting is more and more people will actually be comfortable and have longer conversations when you disclose that they're talking to an AI agent in the beginning, which you, yeah, you wouldn't think so.”

“I do not think AI agents are going to replace people anytime soon.”
