a16z GP Anish Acharya shares his top three personal agent products:
- Grok Bot: totally nailed it, with an awesome underlying model, came out of left field;
- ChatGPT's Work: buried in the UI but really good, one of OpenAI's best releases;
- Startup Instinct: more aggressive, interesting trade-offs in the same domain.
He also argues that by almost every measure things have never been better — radiologists have been "cooked" for 20 years yet demand keeps rising, engineering openings are at all-time highs, and unlike mobile's winner-take-all markets, every layer of the AI stack has 20 strong competitors.
