- Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang says Meta has seen a swarm of AI agents outperform a team of 100 engineers.
- The setup is deliberately simple: give agents a clear outcome, connect the data they need, define the metric, and let them operate in a continuous feedback loop.
- The author argues this is a better mental model for AI in business than one giant chatbot: a set of recurring loops that observe changes, prepare next actions, and escalate important decisions to humans.
- The author shares his own practical version spanning content, client work, consulting, finance and paid growth, all running through Slack.
