Way back when agents were a novel tool that only devs who live in CLI could use, something clicked for me and Joseph Dolivo. Non-technical people who live in UI need agents too. They need them bad. They needed agents that could run locally, be resilient, read local files and use the same tools that non-techies use every day.

So we fired up our compilers and got to work. Many more joined later and we built Pizza Bot. First agentic platform that was an app, not a CLI. No configs needed, everything worked with 1 click. Thousands of people inside of Amazon use it daily. Now it’s available for everyone.

“ChatGPT writes my legal documents for me,” said my lawyer friend. I told him: take the AI away and you can’t do it yourself. Two years later I caught myself telling my coding agent “go fix it” — no idea what was wrong, no idea what the fix was. I became my lawyer friend. Knowledge comes in three tiers, and AI is quietly rewriting who gets to reach the third one.

I asked my AI agent to prep me for a customer meeting. In the meeting, I could barely remember which company I was talking to. I did not forget the details — I never knew them in the first place. An AI summary is rented knowledge. Writing it yourself is owning it. Renting is fine — until you rent something load-bearing.
