I'm aging myself here.

We got email at Intel and he refused to use it.

He refused to use it.

And he would have his admin print out all of his emails.

He would handwrite a response on them, hand them back to her and have her type them up.

And now you can imagine how impactful he was and what his productivity was like.

And eventually he gave into it.

He learned to, you know, peck away at a keyboard with two fingers and he learned to type and eventually he got into it and did email.

But, you know...

I know, I know, exactly.

Don't let that happen to you with AI.

You can't afford to have that delay.

I think you'll start to see, I mean, you've already seen the first, let's call it consumer grade agent.

Last week, Google IO, they announced an agent for consumers for the first time.

But the big ones that people talk about, which is Hermes agent and OpenClaw, they're not ready for prime time yet.

They're still for nerds who want to use them, but they are very, very impressive.

You should change the framing, the way you think about AI.

from being a tool, once it becomes an agent, it becomes more like a digital employee or a digital assistant or a digital coworker.

And that's the way it's going to feel in the workplace.

Your work colleagues will be a combination of humans and machines.
