Most people still think AI is just another productivity tool. But what happens when AI stops helping teams… and starts becoming the team itself?

In this episode of 101 Talks, I sit down with Max Del Vita, CEO and co-founder, Symplehost.ai, to explore one of the biggest shifts happening in technology right now.

We talk about:

• Why software may completely disappear in the future
• How AI agents are changing companies from the inside
• Why small teams could outperform massive organizations
• Which industries may collapse faster than people expect
• Why creativity and intuition may become the most valuable human skills

Max also shares how he went from never using GitHub to writing millions of lines of code with AI in less than a year.
