I run two companies. Digital Horizon builds software and AI integrations for other operators. Spring Digital Commerce is my own studio for shipping products and ventures. Different work, same question: where does AI actually earn its keep inside a business?
My working answer is agentic companies. Let agents handle what’s repeatable. Let humans handle what isn’t. I test this in the open. One of my SEO engines runs with nobody watching. An agent-operated storefront still makes me wince some mornings. The operating systems behind my own companies are mostly agents now. I’ll happily tell you which parts are working and which aren’t.
