In an interview with Platformer, Replit CEO Amjad Masad outlined a vision of a "self-driving company," one where AI agents carry much of the operational load. The conversation centers on how that shift will change corporate hierarchies, job definitions, and the nature of managerial work.
Masad reportedly argued that a CEO is essentially a glorified router, someone whose main task is to route information and decisions to the right place. As agents become more capable, he suggested, the remaining human work will be whatever machines cannot yet judge or understand, particularly in areas like coding and design.
Since the article is based on a single interview, there are no contrasting viewpoints to compare. The piece presents one founder's vision rather than a broader debate, and it leaves open the question of how quickly or smoothly such a transition would happen.
