The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

There's a scoping phase.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

There's a billing.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

There's testing.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

There's monitoring.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

There's like a self-learning loop.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

So...

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

I guess the point is where every feature we're building in the product is optimized for that deployment lifecycle.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

And the only way to know if that works is being very close to the deployment.

The a16z Show

And if these are doing these deployments or they're getting feedback from the other team.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

So actually,

The a16z Show

More than the FDs being very close to the product, I think it's more so like our product is a combination of a platform and a forward deploy motion, and it would really not exist.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

Once the FDs have done their work, they leave a working thing.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

So it's almost like you...

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

Spend that time, you deploy a thing, but you're not delivering an output that the FDE has done.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

You're literally delivering the agent working on a platform.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

So it's a very different distinction of pure services versus a forward deploy implementation plus the platform running the value forever, hopefully.

The a16z Show
Building AI Agents for Enterprise Operations

Yeah, I think there's an interesting tension in...
