Three judgements on investing in the AI era

Agents do not change efficiency. They change where value is created.

01
Software

Software is no longer sold by the seat. It is priced by the work it completes.

02
Moats

General models become utilities. The moat retreats to context and workflow.

03
Scarcity

When agents decide on our behalf, reliability becomes the scarce good.
