If You Don’t Understand Agents, You Don’t Understand AI

Everyone's talking about AI, but almost nobody is talking about how to actually use agents. And that's exactly why most people are going to get left behind.
In this video, I break down how I'm actually using autonomous agents inside my business right now:
⬛ An agent that crawls conferences and upgrades our SEO scaffolding automatically
⬛ A product-qualified lead agent that surfaces upsell angles from in-app usage
⬛ A CFO agent that helped me cut $500,000 in costs
⬛ How to limit the "blast radius" so agents don't blow up your business
If you're a founder or leader and you don't understand how agents actually work, you don't understand where AI is going. This video will change that.
