Would You Trust an AI Agent to Spend Your Company's Money?
What level of financial authority would you give an AI agent making purchases or executing transactions for your business?

Once the votes settle, could you post the results along with who voted, founders versus people who run finance? A CEO and a CFO probably give very different answers on how much an agent should spend without asking, and seeing that gap would help anyone trying to sell an agent that makes purchases.
Great suggestion, Ryan! I agree that comparing responses from founders and finance leaders could reveal some interesting differences in risk tolerance and financial oversight. I'll share the overall poll results once voting settles. If we can identify respondents' roles, it would also be interesting to compare how much spending authority each group would grant AI agents. That could provide useful insights for companies developing agentic AI solutions. Appreciate the idea!
