98% of US households aren't paying for AI yet More charts in State of Markets II: a16z.news/p/state-of-markets…
Introducing our State of Markets pt 2, along with a companion podcast where we unpack the data and discuss what comes next. Tech is the everything cycle. Supply: putting the buildout in context, just passed railroads as % of GDP. The wisdom of Elon is real: the factory (or the datacenter!) is the product. Demand: diffusion is so, so early. Median AI vendor spending in the top 1% of companies is 8x that of the top 10%. Only about 30% of S&P 500 companies report a quantified AI impact, which means there’s a substantial opportunity in connecting models to a company's data and workflows. Diffusion into companies is one of the main themes of the next 5 years. We’re entering the agent work period. Only a few million users today, but applicable to billions of internet users with massive surplus created. META/GOOG monetize US users at $200+ per year today. Agent opportunity is much higher. Mega-trends the next 5 years: Consumer agents, Robotics, Autonomy, AI x bio, Personal health, Diffusion into enterprise, New era of American Dynamism. Much more in our SoM report here - a16z.news/p/state-of-markets… @a16z @sarahdingwang @aleximm @santiago__rdz

A lot of people are going to get comfortable working with AI agents because they watched a coworker use one in Slack... Imagine someone in your team’s Slack channel asks an agent to pull last month’s ad results. It has access to the reporting data and comes back with the strongest performers. The media buyer looks at the list and says, “We ran a sale that week. Can you compare it with the other promo periods?” The agent reruns the comparison. The creative lead asks it to use that analysis in the next brief. With access to the team’s documents, it creates a draft and shares the link back in the thread. Then someone asks, “Can we turn this into a report we can use every week?” That work can continue with Slackforce Surfaces. Once it has access to the reporting data, it can build an interactive interface for the team. The media buyer asks for a way to flag promo dates so those weeks don’t get mixed into the regular results. Someone following along has now seen the team question the analysis, use it in a brief, and start building a Slackforce Surface around it. They can preview it at anytime in Slack and suggest adjustments. Ask Slackbot today.

You can now roleplay in real time with an interactive avatar on Synthesia. 💥 I've practiced our pitch with my co-founder Steffen hundreds of times before meeting real investors. Memorizing a pitch and having an investor conversation are wildly different. A conversation takes unexpected turns and demands that you think on your feet and actually engage with the person across from you. So Steffen would play the investor, firing off the hard questions, and I'd practice my answers in real time. We made it to our Series E, so something worked 👀 You don't get good at a hard conversation by reading about it. You get good by practicing it, over and over. But real practice needs a partner — and co-founders, managers, investors, and colleagues aren't always around when you need to rehearse. So most people end up having to learn on the job in front of real customers, investors and colleagues which is far from ideal. Today, that changes. Introducing Roleplay Sessions. Whether you're prepping for a sales pitch, a tough conversation, or a customer negotiation, you can now practice with an avatar that responds just like the real person would. When you're done, you get instant coaching and feedback while it's still fresh. For managers and team leads: built-in analytics show you exactly which skills are driving performance.

Your users never have to leave iMessage again. We just launched the world’s first iMessage Apps API built for scale. Using iMessage apps, agents can now make payments, order food, and (bc we need more fun) play games. To celebrate, you can now play against Claude in GamePigeon at the link below. Top 10 players by tomorrow at 2PM ET will win $500 each.

You came to NYC to ‘build’ but you’re skipping office today bc of a travel ban? In the agentic era??

Embarrassing, low agency. It’s time to escape the permanent underclass.

18-24 inches? That’s how deep Claude will be inside my workflows today.
