Most companies are hiring AI like a feature. I have been running mine like it is the team.
From The Autonomous Org
The talk
Most companies are treating AI like a feature. A button. A side project. A pilot.
I have been running my companies like the agents are the primary execution layer. Not a productivity bolt-on. The actual team. One operator. A studio of 23 AI-agent-native apps. An infrastructure layer called Elysium with twelve subsystems and a daemon named Meera.
This talk is the operator playbook. What you stop doing the day you decide agents are employees. What an agent-native company actually looks like at the org chart, the calendar, and the cap table. The mistakes founders are making right now that will cost them three years. The plays that compound.
Strong fit for founder summits, AI conferences, and operator off-sites where the audience is past "what is an LLM" and ready for "how does this change the company I am building."

The compounding curve nobody is talking about.. and what catches up
Is this the right talk for your room?
Strongest in rooms full of operators. I have lived this at scale. Less of a fit for pure AI research rooms or non-operator academic settings.
