The a16z Show
AI Agents and the Fight for Customer Data

The software is actually pretty buggy.

AI Agents and the Fight for Customer Data

It needs kind of stable infrastructure below it, you know, and so most infrastructure companies have seen a lift as a result of this.

The a16z Show
AI Agents and the Fight for Customer Data

Let me just give you my quick view on this, which is building rock-solid software that you can operate for long periods of time is just not what AI is best at, and you're probably better spent focusing it on other things.

stays in place, right?

The a16z Show
AI Agents and the Fight for Customer Data

Like, you still have operating systems, you still have chips, you still have databases, and, like, they kind of evolve over time rather than they get... Yeah, and maybe you peel one layer or maybe you peel three.

The a16z Show
AI Agents and the Fight for Customer Data

Yeah, that's right.

The a16z Show
AI Agents and the Fight for Customer Data

Let's talk about... Let me actually just do a quick time check here just because...

The a16z Show
AI Agents and the Fight for Customer Data

I just enjoy talking to you so much.

The a16z Show
