Replit CEO envisions self-driving companies with AI agents
TechCrunch: Replit’s CEO says the future of work is the ‘self-driving company’
Replit CEO Amjad Masad envisions a future of “self-driving companies,” where AI agents handle day-to-day tasks and people focus on higher-level decisions.
Get smart on it
Replit's CEO describes a vision of the "self-driving company" where AI agents handle routine work tasks while humans focus on judgment and creative decisions. At Replit, this means AI agents now triage support tickets and perform initial work, but humans remain essential for decision-making at key points in the workflow. The CEO argues this transformation is already reshaping workplaces, though many people remain unaware that their jobs are changing, and he suggests the shift makes work less boring and more productive rather than eliminating jobs entirely.
