The Internal Dogfooding Press Release
We are using our own product internally, which is something every software company has done since 1997, but we're calling it 'transformation' and 'reshaping' because the word 'agents' now opens venture funding doors. Notice how 'more complex, longer-running, and increasingly cross-functional' sounds impressive but means absolutely nothing—it's like saying your new stapler handles 'sophisticated, sustained, and synergistic paper binding.' The real sentence is: 'We use Codex at OpenAI,' which is neither news nor evidence of anything except that we have access to our own API.
Internal dogfooding is table stakes for any AI company—it's the bare minimum quality gate, not a market validation signal. The post offers zero metrics, timelines, specific use cases, or comparative data; 'early look' is marketing speak for 'we don't have results yet but need to seed the narrative.' If these internal agents were genuinely transforming work across every department, you'd expect at least one concrete example: 'engineering cycle time down by X%' or 'support tickets resolved Y% faster'—instead we get vibes and the promise of a link that probably leads to more vibes.
