| Hey | Brad Axen spent his PhD running experiments at CERN before spending the last ten years at Block, where he wrote the original code for Goose, one of the earliest open-source AI agents. These days he leads AI capabilities across the company, including the internal bots that now run parts of Cash App, Square, and Block's own engineering org. | In this episode, he tells Liam Lawson about a pattern showing up across offices right now: someone asks a question, gets sent to "ask their agent," and ends up copying answers back and forth between coworkers. Brad calls it "meat proxy," and it's part of why Block built Buzz, a workspace where AI agents sit in the same conversation as the humans, instead of behind each person separately. | | Also available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts. | Are you ready to launch AI transformation for your company? | |
