## Summary

Dhruv Amin's startup Anything has 15 human employees and about 150 AI agents, and he expects most companies to have more agents than people within a year. Startups such as Lindy have cut staff and filled roles with agents, while workers now spend much of their time checking and correcting the agents' mistakes. Some customers and job seekers say agent outreach feels like a lack of effort.
