It's pretty cool, and I think something we're...
I want to say on the precipice of, but we're kind of cartwheeling and tumbling right into right now is a real change in the way we use the Internet and computers.
You know, things are about to look a lot different.
And what we're going to show you today is a really interesting glimpse into that.
When you ask me what an agent is, you should know that I disagree with a lot of people on this subject.
It's a thing where I get really lost in the semantics, kind of, because, you know, over the last year, a lot of companies have come out and started talking about their agents and all of this.
And what they're really doing, in my opinion, is busting out Zapier automations that can do a task over and over once you set it up and build out this whole thing.
And in my eye...
you know, truly agentic AI is the ability to have your AI tool do something autonomous, to make decisions throughout the process, to understand what tools it needs to use, and just go figure that out and come back with a result that is without a human in the loop and less
Unless there's a need for one at some point.
I mean, if it needs to come back and ask a question, that's not a disqualifying factor for agenthood in my eyes.
But I do believe that it should be, and you may disagree with this, I don't know, it should be...
able to go and do the thing on its own without me needing to be a software engineer to set it up, without me having to go and set up a billion different things and build out a process and reconsider how I think about doing things.
I should be able to say the words, go grab this stuff from my email from now on.
I want you to, anytime I get an email like this, just drop it in my Slack so I notice.
That is what I consider to be truly agentic.
And essentially how this- Maybe it's kind of the totally code-free version of this, I would say.
You have to choose a route maybe depending on the result.
Yeah.
Correct.
