Upholding almost every business is foundational work generally understood as "operations."

In this interview, a16z podcast host Steph Smith connects with a16z partner Kimberly Tan, following her recent post "RIP to RPA: The Rise of Intelligent Automation," to explore how LLMs are creating a greenfield for automating operations by verticals, targeting markets that were previously served only by human labor.
