01 / belief
“We had our first MVPs of those agents I think like four to five months after it was really trained, I would say.”
02 / belief
“After you build something for such a long time, and I think you and I talked about it at one point, that I think one of the best traits for a builder is to become very passionate with what they're building.”
03 / belief
“Actually, I think in general, you can feel overwhelmed by tools right now, by recipes and how to do things like what's your prompt and what's my prompt.”
04 / belief
“In fact, I think we're close to 50% of all those builds being done by the maintenance agent and a QA agent.”
05 / uncertainty
“Are there any functions you think are especially successful at this? Not to play any favorites, but I don't know.”
06 / belief
“Platform and tools I think would be, again, a prerequisite, but not sufficient, and the cultural aspect is really important.”
07 / evaluation
“Same with coding. It doesn't work that you just bring it in and it just reasons over your code base really well.”
08 / belief
“The other thing I would say, it takes time for this program and its formality to roll out across the entire organization, and I was intentionally not trying to be quick at rolling this out to everybody because I think that just dilutes the value of it really quickly because it's not about...”
09 / evaluation
“I see a lot of companies roll out their agents and just expecting companies to adopt. It doesn't work this way.”
10 / belief
“We're going to really orchestrator across, but we did want to be able to rate and grade those agents really well on how they're doing. And I think there is a level of expertise.”
11 / belief
“There's a podcast called Song Exploder, I believe, that is a similar concept that's not in Hebrew, in English, that I'll point people to if you love that one.”
12 / prediction
“I would say in six months or so, we'll be able to see a lot more of the organization use it and you'll start seeing those top line numbers will build as well.”
13 / prediction
“0, which is really the notion of building personalized medicine, which I think in the world of AI will become incredible in the future.”
14 / preference
“Naval's always talking about that last book. I think I bought it and it was just hard reading this.”
15 / evaluation
“On the quality side, we're seeing insights discussions just be much, much better. And by the way, quality and time, sometimes they help each other because it's high quality, you don't have to spend as much time on something.”
16 / preference
“I don't use it that much, to be honest, but I should. My wife just doesn't love Grok.”
17 / evaluation
“I think top talent has this tendency of continuously trying to get better at their craft and this innate need to be at the cutting edge of how you build, and I think we're seeing this here as well.”
18 / preference
“But I think the one I love, growth mindset is a second religions for us at home. And one thing I love about, there's a phrase there that is becoming is better than being, which I think ties into the FSB mode a little bit, which is you're always in progress mode, iteration mode.”
19 / evaluation
“Because it's all in Figma, you can use your team's existing design building blocks, making it easy to create outputs that look good and feel real and are connected to how your team builds.”
20 / recommendation
“If you're a leader, give yourself KPIs you share with your own teams or OKRs. And if you're inside of the organization, and I would say whether or not or not your CPO or your CEO is announcing this type of program, go do it or join an organization that does it so you can be at the cutting edge of how you build in the future.”
21 / recommendation
“When I think about it, I think there's a takeaway there in generally with AI, even if you're learning it for the first time and so on, whether it's Cursor or whether it's design, if it's Figma or other tools or Lovable, you should be ready to invest those hours before you start seeing yourself pick up in velocity and quality, which will come up, but you have to invest that time.”
