Hey there,
If your 2025–2026 plan is “I’ll build powerful AI agents for clients,” you might be walking straight into a dead end.
Here’s why.
Google is quietly (and aggressively) moving into the AI agent world:
- Gemini 3 and Nano models
- NotebookLM upgrades
- Google Workspace Studio
These aren’t just shiny demos. Workspace Studio, for example, lets companies spin up entire teams of agents that can brainstorm, evaluate ideas, write user flows, and generate user stories—plugged directly into tools they already use.
On the infra side, platforms like Nebius’ Token Factory are making serious fine‑tuning accessible on massive models (20B, 120B) without FAANG‑level budgets.
Put simply: powerful agents + powerful models are becoming a commodity.
So where’s the real opportunity for AI automation founders and ambitious enthusiasts?
It’s in the boring, unsexy, insanely valuable work:
- Designing end‑to‑end workflows (LLMs + tools + memory + humans)
- Orchestrating multiple agents around real business outcomes
- Going deep into specific domains instead of being a “general AI guy”
- Using infra like Nebius to tailor models to niche, high‑value problems
We’re entering a K‑shaped AI economy where ~20% of people will get 10× more productive with these systems… and the rest will compete against them.
If you want to be in that top curve, don’t sell “an agent.” Sell a system that reliably moves metrics your clients care about.
If this is the game you want to win, this is your roadmap.
Best,
AK
