Not your agents, not your army.

From one chatbot
to a crew.

The shift

Agents that each own a job.
Bitcoin taught usNot your keys, not your coins.
BigAI is teaching usNot your model, not your mind.
Agents are nextNot your agents,
not your army.

If BigAI runs your agents, BigAI runs your army.

My army.

One front door. Specialists behind it.
A manager over all of them.
