AI Agents That Do The Work

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Work that carries on when you are not there. And you, still in charge. This audiobook shows how to build AI agents that do work while you sleep. It starts with one task you hand over. It ends with an organization that has a goal nobody has to restate every morning, a budget that can run out, and a memory. In between are the patterns, and they are not about buttons and not about technology. They are about the order in which you work. Which move makes the next one cheap. Why checking has become more expensive than making, how to have a machine check its own work, and where the brake belongs before you hand over the power to act. The unusual part is not the speed. It is that it got easier every day instead of harder — and that came from a small number of moves that looked like nothing on the day itself. Every chapter carries an exercise you can run yourself on an example administration you create in the first minutes: the instruction is read to you word for word, followed by what came back, where it goes wrong, and how to correct it. Everything in it happened and can be checked, including what went wrong and what it cost. And you do not have to be a programmer: one of the chapters is about precisely that objection. This edition is adapted for listening. Nothing has been left out: every drawing, table and output from the printed book is described in words. You are not late yet. But that will not last.
