By 2030, half of US online purchases could start with an AI agent. Or 1 in 8. We built a predictive model of US online shopping: three versions of 2030, from modest to extreme. Four things move: where shopping starts, sales, the team's job, and who gets paid ↓

Store teams spend more of their time directing: briefing, reviewing, deciding. 39% of their hours today. 40%, 49% or 72% in 2030. Output per person: +3%, +34% or 2.4x.

Ad money moves to AI agents. Today, ads take 9¢ of every online dollar, and agents almost nothing. In the most extreme version, agents take 4.5¢, about $91B a year, and ads fall to 4.8¢.

We built Claude for ecommerce. One AI agent that creates your ads, builds your influencers, publishes to Meta and TikTok, and runs your entire creative workflow all from one chat. Here's what that actually looks like 🧵

I just launched /office-hours skill with gstack. Working on a new idea? GStack will help you think about it the way we do at YC. (It's only a 10% strength version of what a real YC partner can do for you, but I assure you that is quite powerful as it is.)

it's not about big brand vs small brand. it's about who runs agents and who runs slack threads

There will only be 2 types of SaaS products soon: 1. SaaS that play nice with AI agents 2. SaaS that get replaced by AI agents

a lot of operators are worried about how fast AI is changing things. they shouldn't be. techno-turbulence is net good for small companies. they adapt faster than the incumbents who built entire teams around tasks agents now handle

built my first autonomous agent his name is Gladiator he works in cursor, audits my SDR system every morning, finds the biggest bottleneck, patches it, and sends me a report I did not expect to feel this way about a script

Gladiator can push code and open PRs autonomously but he can’t merge to master without me which is the most honest description of trust I’ve ever put in writing

"never merge to master without human approval" best line I’ve written this year and it’s in an agent’s system prompt
