So you're not going to sit there and like watch it one at a time.

But the powerful thing about this is like each one is still actually operating faster than like a human engineer could have like back in the day, right?

Like when I think about like the speed with which like

our early team at Airtable could build features, and we had a very good team.

One agent on one branch can do the work of maybe three humans back in the day, operating probably in three times the time.

So it's literally like a 10x leverage factor just for one agent.

But the best engineers are now able to multitask and kind of basically say, look, I'm going to oversee my own little team of like 20 to 30 agents working concurrently.

And so I think it requires like, it's almost like everybody needs to graduate from being an IC to like an IC manager of agents, meaning like in every function, like if you're like a VC analyst, your job should no longer be to go and synchronously research one company.

It's like you're going to go and research like 30 companies and do them all concurrently.

faster, better, and higher quality than what you could before.

And so I think that's the greatest leap that is going to be challenging for a lot of people in a lot of roles to make the leap on, because it's a totally different mentality to how you operate and what your role is than before.

So a lot.

You know, I think like there's basically like three different levels of self-disruption we're trying to do at Airtable, right?

One is like the core product itself, like how do we reimagine that for an increasingly agent-led future?

So all the like headless hybrid type stuff we talked about and like, you know, like the best testament to that is like,

Do we see massively growing basically tool call volume from Chachapati, Claude, any other agent products?

Are people using Airtable more and more agentically?

And is it working smoothly for them?

So that's priority one.

The second, though, is I think we have to really transform how we operate internally.
