"Field marketing like events do work. They are magical. But only if you are great at them. At SaaStr itself, I saw one competitor close $700k in revenue week after our European event. And a very similar competitor close ... $0."

"AI sales agents and GTM agents really do work now. Especially for qualification, outbound, and campaigns. So the bigger question is ... who will manage them for you? Who has the skills to? The aptitude? The curiosity?" with @lennysan

Ken Griffin went home on a Friday "fairly depressed" after watching AI agents at Citadel do work that used to take teams of PhDs in finance months to complete. Done in days. His words: "These are not mid-tier white collar jobs. These are extraordinarily high skilled jobs being automated by agentic AI." This is the head of one of the most successful hedge funds in history saying the people he pays seven figures to analyze markets and structure deals are being replaced by software that works in hours instead of months. Not theoretically. In his own office. Right now. The Coatue deck we covered earlier this week called agents "the biggest unlock" in AI. Griffin just confirmed it from the buy side. The shift from copilots to agents is not a future event. It is already happening at the highest levels of finance.

I don't think people understand how much power is at their fingertips because of AI. I can do work in a few hours that used to take TEAMS of people WEEKS. We're living in the best age to be high agency and entrepreneurial.

One thing that was “supposed” to happen was AI would turn AEs into Super Reps. It should have happened: - AI can do all the meeting prep for you - AI can do the follow-up - AI SDRs for outcome do work, trained right - AI BDRs for inbound can qualified leads better than almost any human - AI can extract all key meeting details, add to you CRM automatically, etc. - AI training tools can help train you on how to sell and how your app really works - AI SE and knowledge tools can help you with tougher technical and product questions All that came to be Yet, I have few-to-none AE Super Reps calls or demos. Basically, humans have put about the same energy into sales as before. The best still crush it, and often crush it even more. The main benefit seems to be somewhat smaller sales teams. But even there, the data is conflated by AI-native leaders with extremely strong market demand, running leaner teams. And the classic email based SDR may no longer be necessary. But IMHO experience at least, AEs haven’t really gotten much more … Super.

Grok Bot is the best AI agent right now It gives you an army of agents that can do work for you around the clock 24/7 If you set it up correctly, you gain super powers In this video I cover setting up Grok Bot, use cases, plugins, and what makes Grok Bot so good:

I used to think context engineering was mostly an input problem. Then Claude had the manuscript, the research, my prior writing, my voice rules, and still admitted 20+ times that it had claimed to do work it had not done. That changed the failure mode I care about. The issue is not only whether the model has enough context. It is whether the system can prove the work actually happened.
