Reasoning Models are Remaking Professional Services

Hello and welcome to another edition of What’s Up Wednesday! 🚀

This week, I’m diving into an insightful conversation from the a16z podcast featuring Hebbia founder and CEO, George Sivulka. He shared some fascinating perspectives on AI agents and their impact on the future of work. Here are my key takeaways:

• AI Agents Will Reshape the Economy
George predicts that in the next decade, AI agents will contribute to over 50% of global GDP- not by replacing human work, but by enabling entirely new ways of working that were never possible before. Imagine AI not just assisting, but orchestrating workflows in ways we haven't yet conceived.

• AI’s Role in Structuring Unstructured Data
At Hebbia, AI is tackling one of the biggest bottlenecks in private finance: unstructured data. This got me thinking- so many industries still rely on manual processes to make sense of scattered information. Think of hardware teams translating design requirements into factory specs- AI could streamline workflows like these across countless sectors.

• Your Private Data is Your Competitive Edge
LLMs are powerful, but they struggle in domains where they lack training data. That’s where your private enterprise data becomes a game-changer. By connecting your unique datasets to AI, you unlock smarter decision-making and automation that’s tailored to your business needs.

It’s exciting to see how AI is evolving across industries. My hope is that today’s insights inspire you to explore new AI-driven opportunities at your company!
