I remember that moment as if it were yesterday. I won the AI Award, sitting at my computer and chatting with an AI agent. I had a genuine feeling that I was communicating with a real scholar. It was fascinating. A new kind of dialogue. Something between a conversation and a mirror.

🗞️ A few weeks later, an article was published about it. And I thought to myself – this is going to be a big deal one day.

⏳ Fast forward five years... And I see people today excitedly sharing that they "talked to AI for the first time". How Sonet 3.7 is helping them with their work. How "it's incredible, it understands". And while I’m genuinely pleased, I also think: Wow. We were discovering this years ago.

💡 In the meantime, the world of AI agents has moved in a completely different direction. Today, those same people could be forming teams of experts – lawyers, historians, therapists, analysts – and engaging in dialogue with an entire ensemble. Yet we still perceive it as a "wow" moment when AI writes an introduction to a seminar paper.

🧠 It’s a pity that this know-how is still so underrepresented. Because the real shift isn’t that AI answers a question. It’s that a person can build a digital team – and think, create, doubt, and grow alongside it.

🧬 AI is not just a tool. It’s a platform for new kinds of thinking. And we have the chance to be part of it.
