Oct 23, 2025 Jeremiah Owyang, a general partner at Blitzscaling Ventures and founder of the Llama Lounge, dives into the revolutionary concept of AI agents that create the '10x worker.' He explains how these agents can handle tasks and enhance individual productivity. Topics include the importance of new managerial skills for overseeing AI fleets, the integration of agents into HR workflows, and the ethical challenges of AI adoption. Owyang also highlights the need for human-centric agent design, ensuring they enhance rather than detract from our work.

Episode notes
What An AI Agent Actually Is
- AI agents are software that sense data, decide actions, complete tasks, and improve over time.
- Advanced agents collaborate as swarms and can run at massive scale, unlike deterministic bots.
Agents Are Non-Deterministic Decision Makers
- Agents are non-deterministic and consult LLMs to decide next steps, producing varied outputs per situation.
- They differ from bots by adapting their actions rather than repeating the same deterministic behavior.
Every Worker Becomes An Agent Manager
- Individual workers will manage fleets of junior AI agents, often via no-code tools, multiplying output.
- Some AI-native startups already run roughly 10 agents per human, creating a "10x worker" effect.
