A real one. We did 3 live builds on Hyperagent during the pod: → A hyperlocal 39M views · 3.3K likes · 170 reposts · 178 replies Open on X →

I sat down with Howie Liu, the CEO of Airtable ($500M+ revenue, 1 billion in the bank) and asked him: is there really 1 trillion up for grabs in AI agents? His answer: it's way more than that. It's the entire GDP of white collar labor. Tens of trillions. Here's what stood out:
