One signal

OpenAI’s Ari Weinstein and James Sun argue that AI agents are approaching a point where they can use computers faster than expert people. On a new a16z podcast, they describe agents navigating existing business software to handle tasks such as financial reconciliation and procurement, without bespoke integrations.

That is a vision of agents working through the same screens as staff, rather than waiting for every system to grow a custom API. The practical test, of course, is whether they can do the work reliably, not merely click at impressive speed.

Discuss: Should businesses let agents operate through existing software interfaces, or wait until they can integrate with those systems more directly?
