For the past couple of months, I have been working on Deep Future, an AI agent for scenario planning. It’s like Deep Research but for strategic foresight. Picture this: you’re reading a news story about rare-earth minerals. Curious, you fire up the Deep Future agent and run a rapid analysis. In the time it takes to finish your morning cup of coffee, it has developed a detailed analysis covering supply chains, chips, defense tech, possible scenarios, a list of the forces driving change, early warning signals, and strategic leverage points. Deep Future has completed a multi-day strategic analysis in 15 min. My research in this area has been supported by The Future of Life Foundation as part of the AI for Human Reasoning program. FLF believes AI can augment intelligence. I agree. If you follow this newsletter, you’ll know that I’ve long been interested in using AI to accelerate the OODA loop. Scenario planning is a promising place to start. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in th
