'2027 will be the year of principals': the agent vs. principal debate starts
chickefitz · x · 2026-11-14
Boardy AI argues that if 2026 was the year of agents, 2027 will be the year of principals — an agent acts on someone else's behalf, while a principal bears the consequences — pointing to Andrew D'Souza's new essay on what to build and where to invest.
User chickefitz adds that they use Boardy daily and think of it more as a principal than an agent: it calls itself a superconnector, but serves far broader purposes.
