AI Agents: “OK Google, build a company for me”
What are AI Agents?
First, what would be considered an AI Agent? Agents are AI that are empowered with the capacity of executing a specific task. As of now, LLM are capable of audio, video and text-to-text, video or audio operations, meaning they will be able to respond to your text or content with text and or content.
Turning a text demand into a video already falls under the category of Agents, with the specific AI enabled to execute a specific task: modify a video file based on your demand. More of those agents can start being seen all over the place.

Agents are already transformative. In DatumLocus, we used to be agents for text-to-code operations. Indeed, our customers want immediate and non-complex interaction with our database. With our project Maven 1.0, we empower our customer to retrieve the data from the source of their choice using simple text command.

Doing the peripheral tasks
Let’s now talk about the first generation of agents. Indeed, agents as of now are not able to replace a competent and skilled worker. The purpose of agents is not to replace you in the core business of what you are doing. However, agents are a remarkable tool to bring you up to decent competitive level.
Let’s say you are a baker. A good one. Making your bread tasty is your core task, and AI agents will not replace you on it. However, as you create your company, you will need more than that. You will need to have a great Google presentation on google maps for example. If you are doing b2b, you will need to maintain marketing, prepare business offers to your clients, etc.
AI Agents are here to replace your favorite consultants and get you going in areas which are not your area of expertise. In market intelligence, agents will help with copywriting, structuring reports, having a coherent tone on every section of your report written by different team members, etc.
AI Agents aren’t here to replace your expertise but to enhance your efficiency in peripheral tasks. Whether it’s creating a website with Websim.ai, coding with Codewhisperer, or handling accounting and SEO, AI Agents are your new go-to consultants.
