The easiest ways to miss the full power of AI agents right now is to just not do enough with them. Most of the time people are just not pushing them far enough, and so are likely only benefiting from a small portion of the potential. It’s mind blowing when you talk to startups and learn about what their new workflows are and how much more they are getting done than you could’ve just a few years ago with the same resources. This is just a huge asymmetry for everyone in the know. The teams and companies going AI-first will likely always be a couple steps ahead of others because they’ll recognize how to push the models and agents further, and those learnings will compound. For everyone else, there is going to be an incredible amount of untapped capability that is just sitting there.

The initial fear of AI was that it’s going to make writing code irrelevant. Tools like this will in fact dramatically increase the number of people coding in the future. This is a good thing.
