a16z partner jacalulu on how she uses AI agents: increasingly she pushes agents to make her do better work rather than just doing the work for her — asking them for questions worth chewing on, insights she might find interesting, and information that could inform her opinions. What she doesn't do is outsource the thinking. The goal is accomplishing more than she could before, which still requires learning and thinking rather than eliminating every bit of friction.
