Concidentially, today I was watching and interview with a lead designer from Ramp who is telling about how they are full ia, agents and automation https://youtu.be/KPDXMtmkcgk

Ramp does seem to have a genuinely good product, but every time I interact with anyone who works on it, I'm struck by how much they want to talk about how hardcore and advanced their working style is. This was true before AI, and it's very true now

Yeah it’s super weird. I know a guy that works there, really nice person outside of work, but the way he talks about his job is so weird. They make corporate expense software but they LARP like they’re on the bleeding edge of tech. My guy you make a slightly nicer Concur.

I’d believe you if you weren’t an 8 day old account hyping up an AI firm.

I’ll believe in AI agent’s abilities the day two criteria can be met.

1. A killer app is made with it.

2. That app doesn’t rely on heavily subsidized models that are burning a dollar to make 20 cents.

lol what? that wasn't a hype comment for Ramp, I'm kinda put off by Ramp's attitude. It gives me the ick like all the founders saying "I work 100 hour weeks" -- who cares, let's talk about your product.

FWIW I agree with your criteria for AI agent success, and I haven't seen it happen yet.
