Enterprise agents versus personal agents — two completely different things called the same word

What this episode covers

When your company talks about deploying AI agents and when you think about your own AI setup, you might both be using the word agent — but you're probably not describing the same thing at all. This episode maps out the difference between the small, task-specific agents being built inside large enterprises and the general-purpose, personality-driven agent setups that people like Jonathan are building for personal use. Andrew describes what enterprise agents actually look like: lightweight pieces of code that intercept a system alert, pull logs from AWS, and send remediation steps to an ops team — no conversation, no personality, no memory. Jonathan describes the other end: a persistent orchestrator that knows everything you've worked on and stays oriented across sessions. Both are agents. They just live in completely different worlds, built on different philosophies about what AI is for.New episodes every week — full video on YouTube. Hosted by Jonathan Spanos and Andrew Signore.
