AI Agents at Work: Scaffold Required

from Super Prompt: Building in the Era of AI Agents Hosted by Tony Wan

We review four clips from the Dwarkesh Patel Podcast with Satya Nadella, Microsoft's CEO. I highly recommend Dwarkesh’s show—technical & nerdy, but excellent. Satya talks about scaffolding—the software wrapped around AI models to make them actually work. So we speak with someone building that scaffolding: Neil McKechnie runs two AI-first startups as a CTO. He discusses how he orchestrates up to twelve different language models—GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, Cohere, Perplexity. We discuss what it actually takes to build production systems with LLMs today—and what that reveals about the agent future we’re being pitched.
