This is a YouTube video titled "Why AI Agents Create A Competitive Moat | Agentic" containing a monologue or presentation from February 18, 2025, discussing the evolution and growing investment in AI agent technology by startups and companies, highlighting the importance of dedicated engineering teams for building AI agents to gain competitive advantage.
Well, we started Building Agents 2023 and like we were the crazy, you know, people at the end of the block trying to convince people that agents were coming. And 2024 we saw a lot of it's a predominantly startups trying to explore agents, trying to test things. We saw the rise of like platforms like Lanechain and Crewai and Auto Gen and a few of these other ones. And now what we're starting to see going to 2025 is that a lot more companies are saying from a leadership perspective we need to start investing in agents. I would say like more significant POCs coming out. We're starting to see a lot more budget opening up for building agents. And the part that excites us more is like dedicated engineering teams for actually building agents. Like, if you have a dedicated AI agent engineering team, I promise you're going to be light years ahead of the competition. So I think it's going to be one of the biggest productivity gains we made over 2025 going into 2026 and beyond.
