Thomas Edison's dynamo electrical generators could've powered Ford's factory 40 years before Ford built it. Kavak CPO & AI Officer Alejandro Maza says AI adoption today is stuck in the same gap: "The way people adopted electricity was, 'I'm gonna leave my factory, four floors, shafts and belts, and just change my coal engine for an electric engine.' This will bring you benefits, yes, but like 6% more efficiency." "What needed to be done was destroy that factory... redesign your whole factory around dynamos and electricity. And then you get the improvement in productivity that powered the US during the 20th century." "The same is happening again today. People want to adopt AI, but they're not willing to redesign the whole company." @alehandromz Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter a16z @a16z AI agents at Kavak sell the cars, underwrite the loans, coach the mechanics, and in one Mexican city, run the entire operation. The Latin American used-car marketplace bet on agents three years ago. Today ~95% of interactions and transactions run end-to-end on AI: NPS tripled, sales conversion doubled, warranties down 26%, car loans approved in less than three minutes.
