Ex-Google veteran departs after 13 years to launch AI agent startup
MeganRisdal · x · 2026-08-14
Megan Risdalu, a senior executive who spent nearly 13 years at Google, announced she is leaving to start an AI agent company with @allenhutchison. She noted that while AI agents are already capable enough to transform technology use, current products aren't good enough yet. Today's agents demand too much from users—too much setup, prompting, and chatting. Most people don't want to learn how to use an agent, which is the core problem their new startup aims to solve.
