By 2030, the biggest wave of new jobs isn't going to reward people who can chat with AI. It's going to reward people who can build with it.
Right now most people are still typing prompts one at a time, while a small group is quietly building AI agents that run their businesses in the background.
In this video, I show you exactly how I went from doing the work to directing it, and how you can build your first AI agent this week even if you've never touched code.
Watch until the end and you'll walk away with a repeatable way to think about every future agent you build.
Prompts from the video:
Identity files prompt:
"I want to build an AI agent that runs my inbox [your AIM from previous Step]. Create its three identity files: a SOUL file, an IDENTITY file, and a USER file (about me). Ask me any questions you need to fill these in accurately, then write all three."
Manager agent prompt:
"You are my Manager agent. You never do any task yourself. When a job comes in, your only move is to spin up a dedicated sub-agent for that one job, hand it the task, and let it run. One agent, one lane. If a job touches on multiple areas, split it into separate sub-agents, one per area. You coordinate and report back to me."
Specialist agent prompt:
"Your one job is my inbox — nothing else. You never step outside the inbox."
Email voice study prompt:
"Connect to my email and read my last 50 sent messages. Study how I actually write — my tone, my greetings and sign-offs, how long my sentences are, the phrases I use the most. Then write a style guide that captures my voice and tone. To test it: draft a reply to my newest unread email as me, and I'll tell you what's off so you can tighten it."
