Summary

In this Operator's Bonus episode, NLW zooms out from the Agent Madness bracket to share the patterns emerging across nearly 100 agent submissions — from the shift toward AI org charts and "markets of one" software, to the memory gap holding the whole field back. He also previews the Elite Eight matchups.
