There's an interesting report that came out.

It's kind of went viral yesterday on X, which is that for like getting for getting Anthropic up to like over a billion dollar valuation.

There was only one person on the go to market strategy team and he was just using.

And I actually think up until quite recently, it was one guy running all of their GDM and he was just using tons of agents powered by Claude to do everything.

And so I'm sure that's like kind of like a marketing thing.

But I think the guy leaked that out himself.

It wasn't like Anthropic was trying to make a big point of it.

So I thought that was hilarious.

It's definitely possible more than you'd think.

But of course, according to Broder, in the case of Gumloop, he said demand from enterprise customers basically pushed them to scale more aggressively so they had to add a lot of engineers and a dedicated sales team, which makes sense, right?

And I know it's like, well, why can't the AI do the sales?

And realistically, people usually want to talk to a person on a call and not be sold by an AI agent that you can't really verify and put a face to.

Gumloop definitely isn't alone, though.

And I think chasing this kind of vision of turning knowledge workers into AI builders, there's a lot of competition, Zapier, N8n, you know, there's some newer, interesting agent tools that I've been looking at, like Dust.

And of course, I'm building one AI box.

And so I think basically even the major AI companies are moving in this direction.

Anthropic recently introduced Cloud Cowork, which basically lets you create autonomous agents without writing any sort of code.

And like ChatGPT has custom GPTs, which I wouldn't go so far as to call those agents, but they are useful tools that can help you kind of automate some things to a small degree.

Now, one thing that I think Gumloop is doing very well, and I predict this as a huge trend across all AI companies, is that they are modeling

agnostic by design.
