## Definition

**Super agency** — the amplification of a person's ability to act, decide, and create that comes from working with AI agents, so an individual can accomplish what once required far more people or resources.

Across the channel's conversations with Reid Hoffman, **super agency** describes the amplification of human agency through AI — the idea that agents give each person a vastly expanded capacity to act, decide, and create, rather than replacing human initiative [^c60d67d7-86a5-5b7a-971a-85c350d650be]. Hoffman frames **agency** as both external and internal; AI tools make that agency *super*: a single person can do what previously took a team, and humans who adopt these tools deliberately steer the AI transition instead of reacting to it [^d2407574-f59e-577f-a487-a84f1b6e94b4]. In the work-and-agents material, super agency underpins the optimistic reading of the automation paradox: agents making expertise cheap can expand expert human work rather than eliminate it, because more people are equipped to act at scale [^c60d67d7-86a5-5b7a-971a-85c350d650be].
