   Replit CEO Amjad Masad pitches the 'self-driving company' at TechCrunch Disrupt

   Speaking at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, Replit co-founder and CEO Amjad Masad described a "self-driving company" in which AI agents take on much of the grunt work while people are valued for judgment and taste. He said support tickets at Replit are first triaged by an agent that reviews GitHub issues, the codebase and Linear tickets, and that once a support person decides to submit a patch, deploying another agent to apply the fix is a click away. Masad said agents do most of the work in that loop but human judgment remains in the middle, with staff spending more time on whiteboarding, architecture and deciding what to work on.
