a16z Partner David George discusses a growing trend: at cutting-edge companies, researchers are shifting away from keyboard input, instead using "whispered commands" to direct a swarm of agents to execute tasks.
He emphasizes that AI is not just evolving product capabilities; it's fundamentally reshaping the workflows of startups and the venture capital industry itself. The author also notes discovering that "typing is at least 5–10 times slower than speaking," suggesting this workflow will continue to spread.
