A podcast recap: the two co-authors of the Reflexion agent framework took opposite paths. Noah Shinn built Instinct, an AI assistant for individuals that VCs are chasing; Ashwin Gop founded Sentra to bring memory to enterprise agents.
Sentra is now the company brain of a $12B public company serving 18,000 employees, with CXOs starting their day on it — nothing comparable exists in public. Topics covered: why memory is not a knowledge base, why organizational memory is easier to build than individual memory, why he thinks the AI race is far from over, who is accountable when AI errs, and his worry about a generation unable to tell AI from people.
