Ignore Claude Opus 4.6. The real magic is Claude Code Agent Teams. Imagine setting out a clear project plan and… then watching your employees arrive. A project manager. A devil’s advocate. A UX designer. A technical architect. They all just arrive at the office, clock in, and get to work. And they talk to each…
Summary In today's episode, I walk through how to use Claude Code's new auto mode to build an entire product from scratch using real customer data, ICPs, and a detailed project plan. Here's what this means for you. You see how agentic AI can shift from being a brainstorming tool to an autonomous execution partner…
Use YAML with AI instead of JSON most of the time. AI tools work best with structured data where it’s clear what’s what. They speak every programming language and are accustomed to structure, which is why using structured markup like JSON, XML, and YAML yield better results than just giving your AI a wall of…
Even livestreams need rehearsals. Every Thursday at 1 PM ET, you can catch me, Katie, and John (usually) on our Trust Insights livestream. Tomorrow, for example, we’re looking at the new plugins feature in Claude Cowork. (and they are very cool) What you don’t see is the prep work on Wednesday night. Usually there’s 2-4…
Sometimes the secret sauce is just a collection of little things. In AI, a lot of folks understandably focus on prompts – they’re the recipes that AI uses to cook with. But anyone who’s spent more than a minute in a kitchen knows that things like ingredients, appliances, chef skills, menu, etc. all matter. When…
Summary In today's episode, I explain why AI models lack long-term memory and how you can solve this problem. Here's what this means for you. You can build more effective workflows by providing the context your AI needs to succeed across multiple sessions. You'll also learn these concepts: the technical reasons behind AI statelessness, the…
NotebookLM in Gemini is the money. Here’s what I mean. Google’s Gemini 3.1 is a crazy smart model, especially the pro version. But even with a 1 million token context window (short term working memory that can hold about 750,000 words), it can’t remember everything. But not too long ago, Google enabled NotebookLM notebooks as…
Build back better. No, not the infrastructure bill, but spiritually the same. Generative AI, especially coding tools, give us the ability to build back anything much better. To take ideas (with permission!) and extend them. What if you could take good ideas that have outdated implementations and – with permission – modernize them? What if…
Summary In today's episode, I explain why version control acts as a crucial shield when using AI coding agents to prevent file conflicts. Here's what this means for you. You will protect your code from AI agents that accidentally overwrite or destroy your files. You'll also learn these concepts: the necessity of Git in agentic…
