Microsoft's Dona Sarkar compares proactive AI to spellcheck evolving from manual to automatic corrections.
## Organizational Changes
Companies should combine humans and agents to solve new problems rather than past issues.

Tech stalker monitors industry developments to identify relevant impacts on the company.
## Pop-Up Lead Role
Pop-up lead makes prototypes robust with extensibility, data connections, and compliance.
## Growth Lead Role
Growth lead achieves buy-in within a company, a highly sought-after but unfilled role.
## Website Optimization
Websites must be optimized for AI agents to purchase products, not human users.
## Key takeaway

Microsoft's Dona Sarkar recommends creating tech stalker, pop-up lead, and growth lead roles to optimize teams for proactive AI agents.
