a16z · youtube · 2026-08-17
a16z interviews Stripe's President of Product & Business, Will Gaybrick, on how AI is reshaping the company. Key points include:
- Internal Use: AI coding agents generate thousands of PRs weekly; AI is seen as an opportunity to build more, not just cut costs.
- Organizational Change: Building smaller, flatter teams with founder-like agency.
- Future Trends: Predicting the rise of "agentic commerce" where checkout pages disappear and AI agents buy software/services autonomously;看好 stablecoins as infrastructure for the global economy.
