We thought agents would map to existing workflows. But Box CEO Aaron Levie sees the reverse: entire jobs and processes are already bending around agents. The open question: “When is the moment when we conform to how agents are best used?”

Agents will eventually outnumber humans by orders of magnitude. Aaron Levie on the infrastructure that will be needed to manage them: "Whether you think the number is 10x or 100x... we're going to have some order of magnitude more agents than people." "There's going to be just incredibly spectacularly crazy security incidents that will happen with agents, because you'll prompt-inject an agent and find your way through the CRM system and pull out data you shouldn't have access to." "How do you make sure you have the right security, the permissions, the access controls, the data governance?" "We actually don't yet exactly know in many cases how we're going to regulate some of these agents." "No matter what, there's going to need to be a layer that manages the data they have access to and the workflows they're involved in." "This is the new infrastructure opportunity in the era of agents." Aaron Levie on Latent.Space

Working with agents is a collaboration problem. Our tools didn’t even really support working together *before* agents. What happens when we reinvent then around collaboration? If we get the primitives right, we can build workflows that match exactly how we want to work

Two years ago, we thought the form factor of AI was chat. Aaron Levie says the ultimate end state is autonomous agents working quietly in the background, creating more value the less you intervene. The new paradigm: progress is measured by how much work gets done without you.

Aaron Levie on why AI agents can't just be treated like normal user accounts: "I, as Aaron, don't really have any responsibility over anybody else's Box account in our organization. I can't see the Box account of any other employee that I work with. I'm not liable for anything that they do." "Agents don't have those properties. The person who creates the agent probably is going to, for the foreseeable future, take on a lot of the liability for what that agent does." "When you're in Claude Code or Cursor, the agent is you... It can do everything you can do." "That's the easy mode." "The hard mode is agents are running on their own and people check in with them occasionally." "How do you give them access to resources in the enterprise without dramatically increasing the security risk?" Aaron Levie on Latent.Space

Aaron Levie is one of the greats. He’s been the co-founder and CEO of Box for 20 years, of which public CEO for 10. And he shows no signs of slowing down, as one of the most active CEOs thinking about how AI agents will shape enterprise software. In our Greylock Partners Change Agents, Aaron and I discussed the question: happens when SaaS is no longer built for humans, but for a much larger scale of agents and humans orchestrating those agents? A few of my favorite topics from the episode: - Why 90%+ of enterprise data has gone unused to date and how agents finally make it accessible - Why SaaS categories won’t disappear, but will be rebuilt around agent orchestration layers - Why the system of record doesn't lose importance, but gains importance the enable agents - How abundance (not labor replacement) is the real shift agents bring to knowledge work - And the real moat in the agent era may be neither the model nor the interface but the workflow memory the agent accumulates over time Aaron has one of the clearest, most grounded takes on where agents for the enterprise can go and what happens to traditional enterprise SaaS. Full episode below:

Every workflow is a vertical AI company waiting to be built. Entire companies were built around payroll and signing documents. Agents unlock what hasn’t been practical. Aaron Levie: “You can underwrite thousands of these companies emerging.”

The current internet wasn't built for agents. "There’s a huge opportunity for startups to create these proxies… if someone would give me a scoped Gmail, I’d adopt it today." "There are websites today where the majority of the revenue, and certainly the majority of profits, come from cross-selling. If this website is suddenly only used by agents, that doesn't work anymore, right?" "All of these large consumer sites... they don't want agents, essentially." "One interesting question here is: will the big incumbents catch up and offer their functionality for agents, or do we actually need new companies that cater to agents specifically?" "Do we actually need to replace some of the big sort of SaaS building blocks of e-commerce, of online services, and redo them for agents?" Yoko Guido Appenzeller on the AI + a16z Podcast

.Aaron Levie says a lot of productivity was rate-limited by how fast someone could use a computer. But once that’s no longer the constraint, jobs start to change. “Your job is now orchestration, integration of work, planning, task management, reviewing, auditing.” The individual contributor becomes a manager of agents.

In the past, it wasn't possible for companies to tap into their unstructured data. But that's now changing with AI. On Greylock Partners Change Agents, Aaron Levie shared "We see a future where you can actually begin to bring agents to all that data and answer any kind of question the customer has, and then eventually be able to automate any kind of workflow that the customer has."
