What you'll learn

Build an agent team around your expertise

Delegate research, planning, production and promotion, and identify where agents could expand your own capacity.

Build your software factory one useful piece at a time

Move from ChatGPT to a harness with tools and skills, then connect the workflows that make sense to automate.

Delegate whole workflows while keeping creative control

Decide what agents can handle independently, where they need your input, and how to expand their role as trust grows.

Why this topic matters

I run Vanishing Gradients, a media and education business reaching over 50,000 people. I've turned my AI into an executive producer and marketing team, helping me run and grow the operation from guest outreach to publication and promotion. See how I moved from ChatGPT to an agent harness, built a software factory piece by piece, and delegated whole workflows while keeping my judgement in charge.
