The AI discourse has thus far focused on capabilities, but in the year 2025, the real constraint for mainstream agent adoption isn't going to be what they *can* do, but rather what we *allow* them to do. Authentication and access control will be the long pole in deployment, not capabilities. 1/8
An interesting trend we're seeing with AI Studio is that it enables companies that might be technology laggards to jump straight into the future. We originally anticipated only reaching power users and early adopters with our launch, but quickly noticed broad interest and expanded. 1/3

My hot take on AI for product management: Instead of using LLMs to generate docs, do the opposite. Write less, prototype more.

That + some thoughts on how to drive AI adoption within your company, and bring enterprise customers along for the ride:

“Let me deep research that for you” is this era’s “let me google that for you”.

It feels like too many AI experiences are still based on a one-shot premise, even though AI and people rarely get it right the first time. I think we should assume that people (and AI) will need to iterate, and build experiences accordingly.

This points to a future where AI isn't just responding to requests, but actually participating in workflows using the same organizational principles we do. Structured data turns out to be more valuable than massive data when it comes to getting work done. 4/4

I notice people using AI to expand bullet points into a longer doc format. Unless there’s some external formality that requires it, it’s counterproductive. If you can explain an idea in fewer words, that’s always better. It’s also harder. Get AI’s help with that instead.
