AI-first company has a copywriter manage a team of agents
Understand this story
After a mid-sized SaaS company adopted "AI-first," 28-year-old copywriter Lukas Weber no longer writes himself, but instead manages a team of AI agents: the agents scrape industry news and customer calls to generate topics, write first drafts, identify visitors and send tailored proposals, analyze marketing data, and draft email replies. The report suggests that when companies across an industry all hand thinking and proposals to the same small set of LLMs, competitive differentiation erodes, producing "intellectual homogenization," with the proliferation of em dashes seen as a symptom. This judgment comes from the report itself and is not a confirmed effect.

The article describes knowledge workers who now spend their days managing and reviewing the output of AI agent "swarms" that draft copy, write code, and produce strategy, and argues that when every company in an industry runs its thinking through the same small set of LLMs, competitive differentiation erodes and skills atrophy. Drawing on the Kissimmee River straightening, Kyle Chayka's "Airspace," and research on LLM homogenization, it predicts a barbell-shaped future in which cheap high-volume AI output and premium verifiably human craft both thrive while the middle hollows out.
