AI agents are coming fast, promising to change work and life
AI agents will soon be everywhere, says tech insiders. These software systems use AI to perform tasks for users and other systems. They take natural language commands and can scour the web, research deeply, write code, spot anomalies, highlight insights, translate language and code, and automate time-consuming tasks.
The plan? Billions of these agents in every company and field. Not just at work — agents will handle shopping, travel, and daily chores too.
Many agents don’t exist yet, but the push is on. The future is packed with AI systems doing things for you automatically, across all aspects of life and business.
First, we have strong conviction that AI agents will change how we all work and live. Think of agents as software systems that use AI to perform tasks on behalf of users or other systems. Agents let you tell them what you want (often in natural language), and do things like scour the web (and various data sources) and summarize results, engage in deep research, write code, find anomalies, highlight interesting insights, translate language and code into other variants, and automate a lot of tasks that consume our time. There will be billions of these agents, across every company and in every imaginable field. There will also be agents that routinely do things for you outside of work, from shopping to travel to daily chores and tasks. Many of these agents have yet to be built, but make no mistake, they’re coming, and coming fast.
