The Question That Keeps Me Up at Night
AI has become the buzzword du jour, and honestly? It's the topic I find myself diving deepest into these days. The question that keeps gnawing at me is simple yet massive:
What will companies look like in the future?
The Company I Know
Right now, companies exist in legacy buildings made of concrete and glass. They run on investor money or capital, operating through teams, hierarchies, and internal communities where many people work toward shared profits.
Sure, there are casualties along the way—performance metrics, KPIs, and success indicators that separate the winners from the losers.
This is the company I've known since childhood. This is the standard of what "company" means to me.
(Yes, there are solo entrepreneurs and small businesses, but you know what I mean.)
But What About Tomorrow?
Then I look at what's happening right now—the rise of multi-bot systems, Claude agents, and tools like OpenClaw—and something feels fundamentally different.
How will individual capability differentiate in an AI world?
People are now assembling agent teams, delegating specific tasks to each one. They set up loops that run until problems are solved. Different "departments" of agents work on their assigned pieces, all feeding into a final output.
Wait... isn't this just the offline company structure we've always had, but digital?
The AI Org Chart
I've seen people actually operating like this. They've got a CEO at the top, with COO, CFO, CHO underneath. Below them? Team leads and team members—all AI agents. Research, reports, strategy—everything runs through these agent teams. Each role has its own "skill" (instruction set) to ensure stable operation.
The human? They just manage power consumption, token budgets, and review final reports.
Honestly, it's a bit terrifying.
Questions That Pour Out
This raises so many questions that my brain can't keep up:
What will the shape of future companies be?
How will M&A work?
Will there even be human employees inside companies?
Will the word "company" still exist?
Is the only differentiation between agents their skillset (skills.md files)?
Does that mean company value will be measured by their agent configurations?
The questions just keep flooding in.
The Terrifying Copy-Paste Reality
Here's the wild part: can't individuals just copy-paste any company structure? If I set up the same organizational configuration, am I not basically in the same position as Google's CEO?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It sounds absurd. But it's happening right now.
Elon Musk is merging SpaceX with xAI—combining space and AI to create an even stronger AI ecosystem. Creation and startup will become easier, and the world will be flooded with similar, mediocre services.
The boundary between company and personal life will collapse. I'm not even sure what kind of labor will hold value anymore.
Embracing the Unknown
I don't know how this will all play out.
But one thing is certain: the concept of "company" as I know it today will be completely different by the time I'm a grandfather.
And you know what? I don't want to fear that change.
I want to embrace it, experiment with it, and make it work for me.
