The Compound Interest of Productivity

AI Agents Are the New Leverage

Productivity tools have long promised to make work easier.
Most deliver accumulation—you stack features, shortcuts, and automations, each adding a marginal gain.

Helpful? Sure.
Transformational? Not really.

But what if, instead of stacking, we could compound?

That’s what AI agents offer

From Tasks to Systems

Start with the small stuff:

  • An agent that filters email.
  • Another that summarizes meetings.
  • A third that drafts follow-ups.

Alone? Nice-to-haves.
Together? They form a system.

The output of one becomes the input of the next. A peloton, not a solo rider. And once that loop forms, you’ve crossed a threshold—from isolated tasks to an adaptive system that gets smarter with each pass. This isn’t just automation—it’s orchestration.

Agents don’t just execute. They learn. They adapt. They cooperate.

Each one adds leverage. Each one amplifies the others.

You’re not saving time. you’re building momentum.

The more agents you connect, the more capable the system becomes.
You go from incremental gains to exponential lift.

Accumulation vs Compounding

We started with a handful of lightweight agents. One evaluated incoming requests and scored them. One updated case notes and status. One checked case hygiene. Another populated task lists and project plans.

Individually? Fine. Connected? Something else entirely.

Work got faster. Work scaled to more customers. Work got smarter.

The system started making decisions:

  • with better quality
  • with greater outcomes
  • across more customers

We’re crossing a threshold in how we work. Productivity isn’t about brute force anymore—
It’s about systems that interoperate and learn.

Agents are the first technology that mirrors how nature builds: organically, iteratively, through networks that adapt and strengthen over time. Each agent you create doesn’t just add function—it adds force.

Future-proof your productivity, start building small agents today.
Connect them.
Let them learn.
Let them compound.

The AI Revolution is here – and it is the savior

I saw some of the fallout of the interview with Dario Amodie yesterday and one of his key attention grabbers was:

“unemployment will spike to 20% in the near future”

On my team, we’re driving hard and fast into onboarding agents (more on that soon), and in doing so, we’re building earned wisdom, not just hypothetical or philosophical views.

His statement made me pause—not because it’s dramatic, but because it’s directionally right and emotionally wrong. There’s a better thought exercise to pursue:

AI won’t just disrupt jobs – it will accelerate the creation of their replacement.

The uncertainty around AI is due to the rate of change—and how fast that rate is itself accelerating.

If you consider past paradigm shifts, they all disrupted the existing workforce massively, but slowly:

  • The Mainframe
  • The PC
  • The Internet
  • Mobile
  • The wheel, fire, electricity…

These changes all transformed industries. They put people out of work—but not forever. No one today is training to be a switchboard operator. People adapted.

The fear with AI, especially Agentic AI, is that those changes are happening in days or weeks instead of years or decades. But this isn’t like past tech waves where new roles emerged slowly.

The technology that is disrupting everything is part of everything.

This means that AI will help design, build, and onboard the future of work in real time. It will empower people to adapt faster, create faster, and solve problems from every angle—not just the top down.

This is the key difference that gives me great hope from working in real time with AI ; the disruptor is the savior all in one, and it brings the power to help those that are disrupted.

AI is driving disruption centrally within organizations, but we are adapting in a decentralized way – AI is enabling those that are getting on board to create systems, training, opportunities, and resiliency for the new future.

This is the first decentralized industrial revolution. Don’t miss it
