When Everyone Has an Agent

Personal agents are about to be everywhere. OpenClaw and similar frameworks already make it straightforward to build an agent that knows your calendar, your business context, your preferences. Every major AI company will pivot to this market. Small businesses get agent teams. Individuals get agent teams.

That part’s predictable. What I can’t figure out is what happens when everyone has an agent. When hiring decisions get made by comparing what candidate’s agents negotiate during intake calls. When your vendor’s agent flags contract risks faster than your legal team can schedule the review meeting. When “I don’t have an agent” sounds as weird as “I don’t use email.”

Right now I’m swapping container configs and debugging WhatsApp integrations. Building this thing is still a project. But at some point (soon), personal agents stop being projects and become infrastructure. The barrier to “having a small team” drops to zero.

Everyone’s going to sell the frameworks. I still don’t know what people build when the tools get boring.
