Andrew Chen runs 10 AI agents with full email access and can't tell who's doing what

a16z's Andrew Chen says he has 10 different AI agents with full access permissions to his personal email, running automations, and he's no longer sure which agent is doing what. He adds they filter a lot of spam, though — "Worth it?"
The quip highlights a growing real-world concern as agent workflows go mainstream: users granting multiple agents full access to critical accounts with little visibility into permissions and behavior.
