“Agents are not only going to change how everyone interacts with computers. They’re also going to upend the software industry, bringing about the biggest revolution in computing since we went from typing commands to tapping on icons.” That was Bill Gates in a memo shared with Microsoft execs back in 2017.

But is another lesson that Bill Gates is still pulling the strings at Microsoft? Maybe ask ChatGPT?
