Introduction

Patrick
My guest today is Bret Taylor. Bret's résumé is absurd. He built Google Maps, famously rewriting the whole thing in a weekend. He was the CTO of Facebook in critical years. He founded Quip. He was the Chair of the Board at Twitter. He was the Co-CEO of Salesforce. The incredible list goes on.

Now Bret is the Cofounder of Sierra, a conversational AI platform for business, and he is the Chairman of the Board at OpenAI. Together, we discuss the past, present and future of AI agents, new programs that will begin doing incredible amounts of work for us humans in astonishing ways that are a thrill to consider. Bret believes agents will become a meaningful part of the future and transform the ways in which we interact with technology. We discuss a strategic approach to AI integration, the different categories of agents and their scopes and the essentials of craftsmanship. This is a must-listen with one of the great builders of our time. Please enjoy this discussion with Bret Taylor.
