AI Agents Are Redefining Knowledge Work. Are You Ready? Most businesses are still using AI to save time. Bryan McAnulty believes that's already the wrong mindset. In this episode of Beginner's Guide to AI , Dietmar Fischer sits down with Bryan McAnulty, founder of Heights Platform and creator of LatchLoop , to explore why AI agents represent a much bigger shift than ChatGPT and what that means for founders, executives, creators, and knowledge workers. Together they discuss how AI is transforming software development, why voice is becoming the new interface, how autonomous agents are changing productivity, and why companies should stop thinking about AI as a cost-cutting tool and start using it to create entirely new customer experiences. Bryan also shares how his own development workflow has changed dramatically, why his team is encouraged to automate repetitive work, and why he believes small companies have an unprecedented opportunity to compete with much larger organizations.
