AI Agents Are Like Teenage Sex

Avinash Kaushik had a line about social media back in 2009.

“Social Media is like teenage sex. Everybody’s talking about it. Everybody wants it. But nobody knows what they’re doing.”

AI agents are in that exact phase right now.

Here’s the honest version: I use AI agents in some form every day. My whole team is able to automate certain tasks by using AI, and do it repeatedly.

But we’re also babysitting them constantly to review outputs, catch edge cases, and stay in the loop.

That’s where most of us actually are. Using them, yes. Trusting them to run unsupervised? That’s a different thing entirely.

And if you’re selling this work to clients, it gets more complicated fast because it can go sideways, or it can open a completely new service line. Sometimes both.

I put together a video this week that looks at it from three angles: delivery, sales, and building it into a new service offering.

Give it a watch on YouTube if you are selling AI-enabled services or thinking about it in the near future.
