“Immediately when I started, it was actually pretty humbling because I was like, this is very different than what I'm seeing on Twitter. I mean, it just felt like I was navigating two different universes.”

“With this new paradigm, you have this new opportunity for all these tooling to support agents, which we've never had before.”
