Dear Steve, let me paint a vision true,
Of how our work will change, both me and you,
By twenty-thirty, just five years ahead,
The workflows of today will all be dead.

Remember now, how tasks consume our days?
The endless meetings, emails, tangled maze,
The context switching, documentation too,
The manual reviews we trudge our way through?

But agentic workflows promise something new,
Where AI agents work alongside crew,
Not just responding when we make a call,
But thinking, planning, orchestrating all.

Your morning starts, no inbox to review,
Your agent's triaged everything for you,
The urgent items? Already addressed,
The complex problems? Researched, assessed.

That code review that takes an hour today?
Agents analyze it in a smarter way,
Not just for bugs or style that's out of place,
But architecture, security's embrace.

They understand your patterns, goals, and flow,
They learn from every project that you grow,
They don't just automate the tasks you hate,
They reimagine how we create.

Those quarterly reports we dread to write?
Agents compile insights day and night,
They track the metrics, spot the trends we miss,
Turn data into narrative's sweet bliss.

But here's what's truly different, Steve, you'll see,
It's not replacement, it's synergy,
These agents amplify what makes us great,
Our creativity, our ability to create.

While agents handle operational load,
We humans walk the strategic road,
More time for innovation, deep thought, design,
For mentorship and making visions shine.

Your calendar won't be a prison cell,
But flexible, with time to think as well,
The agents schedule, reschedule with grace,
They optimize for focus, time, and space.

Collaboration transcends the walls of space,
As agents translate, summarize, embrace,
The global team feels local, tight, and near,
Communication's never been more clear.

The onboarding that took weeks before?
Agents guide newcomers through the door,
They personalize each learning path,
They answer questions, do the knowledge math.

And when you're stuck on problems hard and deep,
Your agent doesn't just archive or keep,
It searches through the codebase, docs, and chat,
Brings context, history, and related facts.

The tedious debugging that consumed your week?
Agents help pinpoint the source you seek,
They simulate scenarios, test at scale,
They craft the fix before systems fail.

Steve, by 2030, work won't be about
The repetitive tasks that wear us out,
But rather harnessing our human spark,
While agents handle operational arc.

We'll wonder how we managed, looking back,
Before our agents joined us on the track,
The way we wonder now how people typed,
Before computers digitized our life.

So here's to you, Steve Lewis, and the change,
The world of work about to rearrange,
Embrace the agentic workflows coming fast,
The future's bright—these old ways will not last.

And when 2030 finally arrives,
We'll marvel how productivity thrives,
We'll have more time for what makes humans great:
Connection, creativity, and the ability to innovate.

The age of autonomous agents draws near,
A transformation crystal clear,
So Steve, prepare for workflows yet unseen,
The revolution of the machine—
Not to replace, but to augment and free,
The greatest version of humanity.
