Matt Wolfe and a guest imagine 2026 when you'll manage dozens of AI agents like a conductor leading an orchestra. The shift happens when agents stop waiting for commands and start reading your email and calendar to book meetings on their own.
I think what's coming next is I think everybody's going to be overloaded with agents. You know, 100 agents working for you sounds cool. You're that billion dollar, one person company. What does it look like to manage 100 agents?
I've always liked the analogy of, like, conductor. You've got like your symphony and you've got your flute player and you've got your violinist and you've got that, and then you've got the conductors. And I feel like we're slowly moving to the role where most people get to be that conductor and they get to conduct all sorts of different instruments, and the different instruments know what they're supposed to be doing and they do that thing. Well. I think what really excites me about the future of AI is when AI gets a little, little bit more proactive. But I think once AI starts to get like, more proactive, where it's looking at your emails, looking at your calendars, and then like, maybe one day you just get like a message on your phone that's saying, hey, Nicholas is trying to schedule a call with you. I see that you have this date open on your calendar. Would you like me to respond to him and book it in for that time? Once agents start doing that, I think the world is on board. I think it's like, okay, I literally have a personal assistant in my pocket now.
We're closer than people think on that.
