Former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal on his “Rebel Alliance” and building a new internet for AI agents
Friday, 6 November, 2026
Former Twitter CEO and Parallel founder Parag Agrawal joins Mixed Signals to lay out his bet that AI agents will search the web a thousand times more than humans ever did. Max and Ben ask Parag why a search engine built for agents has to work completely differently than one built for humans, and how a world of agent traffic could let publishers charge a hedge fund trader much more than a casual reader for the same article. They also get into whether he believes consciousness applies to the systems he’s building, what he misses and doesn’t miss about running Twitter, and his surprisingly undecided verdict on whether X is good for the world.
