The Future Is Domain-Specific Agents - Justin Schroeder, StandardAgents
Domain-specific agents will play a critical role in the future of how we build AI systems.
“agents are deterministic software that harness the non-deterministic results produced by models in pursuit of some desired objective”
Justin Schroeder of stealth startup Standard Agents argues that domain-specific agents are central to the future of AI, framing the current moment as an accelerated Industrial Revolution where we harness intelligence with agents. He offers a working definition of an agent as deterministic software harnessing non-deterministic model outputs toward an objective. The talk is conceptual framing rather than a concrete product or research announcement, limiting its industry-signal weight.
