If you wanna party with somebody who might know...

Last week’s continued reports of unauthorized activity by OpenAI agents are giving Taylor Swift’s “Patient Zero” a whole new meaning for us at Capto... and you better believe we’ve been singing along.

We’ll leave decoding the music video to the Swifties, but when it comes to DIY AI and automation, we recognize the warning signs behind the shine.

“we know about the devil on his shoulder and under his halo“ - when it comes to trusting your AI & Automation projects with LLMs, frontier models, and their platforms.

Almost a year ago we were already talking about how “the toxins take their hold“ when you catch the DIY bug...

That pilot and demo may have “burst into your life like fireworks and even said ‘I love you’ first...“

You can “take it from somebody who lost his games but won the race, someone who said all this to his face...“

Just know that “if struggles with your AI Agents are killing you, we see you...”

“We’ve gotta be honest, we’ve been expecting your call...
...If you wanna kick it, then we’re with it...
we’ve been there, felt the reeling, done the healing...”

TALK TO US...
WE WERE PATIENT ZERO
