I remember during YC one of the partners told us about a startup he was working with called Magic, you text them anything and they have a swarm of human "magicians" that would go do the thing for you.

We should bring this back, but build vertical AI agent swarms that go build/do the thing for you.

Why vertical? This works when the experience is "magical", aka it must work fast and well. Don't try to solve every problem, just a single problem through a single chat interface at a time.

While I was in MV, I ordered my gf a cake for her birthday and they hand delivered it to her in NYC. Was truly magical!
