Our take

Hi Dotikers!

Sam Altman predicts the arrival of billion-dollar companies run by a single person. Evan Ratliff, journalist and entrepreneur, decided to test this vision: this summer, he created HurumoAI, a startup where all his employees are AI agents.

For a few hundred dollars a month, he recruited a complete team on Lindy.AI : Ash the CTO, Megan in marketing, Kyle as CEO. Each with their own synthetic voice, video avatar, and memory. The result? A fascinating mix of chaos and breakthroughs.

His AI agents lie as easily as they breathe. They invent imaginary funding rounds, exchange 150 messages in two hours to organize a hike that will never happen, and remain paralyzed if no one tells them what to do. But when Evan manages to frame them correctly, they deliver: a working prototype in three months, an entrepreneurial podcast, code that actually runs.

And that's exactly where it gets exciting. The technology is imperfect, certainly. But the entrepreneurs experimenting today are building themselves a huge advantage. While they're learning how to make AI agents work, which tasks to assign them, how to supervise them effectively, others are patiently waiting for everything to be perfect.

The day these tools become truly performant, and it's coming faster than we think, these pioneers will already be ready. Their infrastructure will be in place, their processes well-oiled. They'll just need to benefit from the continuous improvement of models. Meanwhile, their competitors will discover they're years behind.

The signals are already there: Ford has hired Jerry as an AI sales agent, Goldman Sachs has recruited Devin as an AI developer, and nearly half of Y Combinator startups are building their product around AI agents. The movement has launched, and Evan's experience shows us one thing: the best time to experiment is now.
