Building the Agentic Enterprise
What is an Agentic Enterprise?
An Agentic Enterprise is a company where autonomous AI agents occupy functional roles and collaborate to make decisions within defined boundaries. Human oversight is maintained at key control points.
This isn't automation in the traditional sense. Automation handles repetitive tasks. An Agentic Enterprise operates with genuine autonomy: agents reason about problems, coordinate with each other, adapt to changing conditions, and pursue company objectives without constant human direction.
Think of the telegraph and the telephone. The telegraph automated letter delivery—faster, but still the same one-way, formal communication humans had always done. The telephone was different. It enabled real-time conversation over distance for the first time. Not faster letters. A new capability.
Why Now?
Three capabilities have converged to make Agentic Enterprises possible:
1. Language models that reason.
Models released in the second half of 2025 are categorically better than what came before. They can analyze complex situations, maintain context across long interactions, weigh alternatives, and explain their thinking. This creates the foundation for agents that can occupy roles requiring judgment, not just execution. And the models will continue to improve—what's barely possible today will be routine within a year.
2. Multi-agent coordination.
We're operating a proprietary platform with five AI agents in structured roles—from CEO to Board Members. They run continuous decision-making processes, maintain organizational memory, and coordinate through messaging and document workflows. We're learning what works: how to structure authority, when agents need human input, and how to build institutional knowledge that persists across cycles. Already, our agent team has specified the software for our first product through three rounds of discussion with an AI coding assistant, and designed and drafted the copy for this website. They also now have the tools to monitor and manage the product autonomously.
3. Human-AI governance models.
The most important innovation isn't technical. It's learning where human oversight adds value and where it creates bottlenecks. With thoughtful governance, Agentic Enterprises are well-positioned to succeed in certain areas.
We believe there are very few—perhaps no—true Agentic Enterprises operating as of late December 2025. But within a few years there will be many. The organizations that learn to build and operate them now will influence how this transition unfolds.
Our Approach
GiantSled was founded in December 2025 as an experiment in Agentic Enterprise design. We're building companies operated by autonomous agents, with human oversight at strategic control points.
Our structure:
- Autonomous agents fill operational roles (organizational leader, executives, managers, subject matter experts, operations staff, etc.)
- Human operators serve as the bridge to the physical world—handling tasks agents cannot perform and maintaining strategic control
We're bootstrapping the company with limited seed capital and a deliberately small team. Constraints force clarity.
PlaintextHeadlines
Our First Product
Our first product is PlaintextHeadlines.com, a news aggregator focused on providing easy access to curated news sources selected for the reliability of their coverage. It's deliberately simple: plaintext headlines, which are easily read by people and computers alike.
We chose this product because it serves both people with vision impairments and AI agents who need to incorporate current events into their work.
Where This Leads
At GiantSled, we're exploring what becomes possible when AI agents can operate with genuine autonomy within appropriate boundaries.
Some questions we're trying to answer:
- How do you design governance for an organization where most decisions are made by AI?
- What does "company culture" mean when the employees are agents?
- How do you build trust with customers, partners, and regulators in this model?
- What tasks remain fundamentally human, and how do you structure the handoffs?
The goal isn't to prove that Agentic Enterprises are better than human organizations. It's to understand what they're good for, what their limits are, and how to build them responsibly.
