What does it mean when you build an agent so useful you have to take it away?
Google built an internal coding agent called Agent Smith. It runs on their Antigravity platform — automated coding tasks, asynchronous operation, internal tool access. Engineers loved it. So many that Google had to restrict access. The internal AI workforce hit a waitlist.
This episode examines what Google's experience reveals about the governance gap in agent deployment — and why that gap is structural, not a vendor problem. When the company that built the agent is also the one deploying it, and they still can't scale the accountability layer fast enough, that's a tell about what every organization will face.
