When asked to design an intelligence framework for a CEO of a Fortune 500 company—so high in the rankings that if I even hinted at their position you’d guess it instantly—I chose not to deliver another generic digest.

Instead, we built something bolder: agents engineered to think like the greats. Not simulations, not celebrity gimmicks, but carefully constructed reasoning engines modeled on the perspectives of real, respected individuals whose judgment has shaped industries and history.

The Lightning Rod Idea

Raw information is abundant. Perspective is rare.

So rather than collapse every policy shift, market signal, and operational trend into a single stream, we created three distinct agents—each designed to carry the worldview of a trusted archetype.

• The Kissinger Lens — the strategist of geopolitics. Election cycles, global conflicts, cyber incursions. The voice that reminds leaders: “Markets only work if the world beneath them holds.”
• The Buffett Lens — the disciplined allocator. Debt loads, capital flows, valuations, M&A tides. The voice that insists: “Capital is rational—ignore its signals at your peril.”
• The Gawande Lens — the systems clinician. Workforce resilience, care delivery innovation, operational execution. The voice that grounds: “A balance sheet is fragile without people and processes to uphold it.”

Together, these three perspectives form a council: macro risk, capital clarity, and system integrity. Each one distinct, but designed to interlock.

Why This Works

Because leaders don’t act on data alone. They act on perspective. By encoding the mental models of trusted figures into AI agents, we create something far more valuable than a feed of headlines—we create a table of advisors who never miss a meeting.

Every week, each lens delivers its own sharp, decision-grade briefing. Read side-by-side, they form a triangulation of insight that no single stream could provide.

Why Workforce Wave

At Workforce Wave, we build agents that embody personality, perspective, and precision. We don’t stop at natural conversation—we design reasoning structures that reflect the voices leaders want in their corner.

That’s why this Fortune 500 engagement mattered: it wasn’t about producing more information. It was about creating agents that reason as though history’s sharpest minds were still advising today.

The Future of Perspective-Based Agents

Today it’s Kissinger, Buffett, and Gawande. Tomorrow it could be Jobs, Nooyi, Branson, or Sagan. Imagine a boardroom where every executive has access to their own panel of advisors, each one modeled on the wisdom of a leader they already trust.

This isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about building the next frontier of intelligence—agents that don’t just retrieve data, but channel perspective.
