How's yours?

Uh quite excellent.

Spent a lot of time with the research team.

Yeah.

So uh I I'm uh I guess uh probably best known for uh co-founding Zapier about 15 years ago, uh an automation company.

This is why I've been working on the last thirteen plus years.

Um and you know, I had sort of like calling AI curious.

Uh I got I went sort of all in on AI early January 2022 when the chain of thought paper first came out.

All these like LM reasoning benchmarks were sort of like spiking up in performance and it got me really curious, like, are we on path for AGI or not?

And uh this ended up leading to Zapier deploying, I think, a lot of AI products really early into the market.

And there was this trend I had seen and heard.

I spent, you know

uh probably hundreds of hours talking with customers around, you know, playing AI agents.

Zach's been deploying them for a couple of years now.

And the the feedback was always consistent, like, hey, I I get the I get the hype, but like they just, they're not reliable enough yet.

You know, they don't they don't work two out of 10 times.

And that just doesn't work for these unsupervised automation products.

And this was sort of in contrast to all this like EGI hype hype, right?

That I see on Twitter all day long.

Yep.
