AI Agents at Work: Scaffold Required
Description
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.
