Part of what freaks people out a little bit is we are going to this agentic universe where all of a sudden, as opposed to having phones and PCs, which we'll still have, we'll have agents. And by the way, we'll have more than one. We may have one that we're, you know, particularly the hollow or read ongoing companion, always, you know, always around us and helping us with things.
But there's going to be a suite of them with kind of different specialties and different engagements. And by the way, you're, you know, your office is going to have one, your working group is going to have one. And, Probably your podcast is going to have one, et cetera. And it'll be here fairly soon. And people say, well, if they're agentic, does that take my agency away? And the answer is no.

The same way that when you work with colleagues and you work with employees and everything else, that expands your agency. That doesn't take it away. The agency is, I think, extremely important here. But by the way, a lot of it's kind of the mindset. Like if you think of your smartphone as, well, here's the way that everyone can get to me all the time when I don't really want to.

And here is this microphone and camera that's following me around and I don't know what it's doing. Gosh, I'm essentially going, oh, my God, my agency is being slaughtered. Whereas if I go, no, here's the way that I can stay in communication with a bunch of the people. I can call out to people. I can hear from people, sometimes when I want, sometimes when I don't. But I have choice over that.

It helps me navigate and never get lost. So, yes, it always knows where I am, but it also knows where I am. It helps me never get lost. And so, therefore, it can be an amplification of my agency, and it changes what the landscape of my agency is.
