AUTOMATION

I just helped hundreds of business professionals build their first AI agents in my AI Agent Mastermind. Here are five built by people who had never opened a terminal before this week: 1️⃣ A personalized morning brief. She took my original morning brief setup, remixed it with global news, local news from Sweden, a Linear ticket queue, a joke of the day for the family breakfast table, and a motivation quote based on business needs. 2️⃣ Someone who had never touched a command window used PowerShell and natural language to solve a screenshot clipping issue they had been working around for months. 3️⃣ A Spanish learning app called Vamanos, built on a "carefully negotiated token schedule" so it does not eat into her consulting work. Cultural context profiles for herself and her husband, token alerts so Claude can parent her if she goes off the rails, and Easter eggs with advice from my course sprinkled throughout. She built it for a trip she is taking next year. Sorry Duolingo. 4️⃣ A Google Commute Agent. Built because Google Calendar has no built-in way to book meetings back to back with distance awareness. It scans for events with physical addresses, calculates real drive time via Google Maps API, and automatically adds commute and parking buffer blocks around each one. 5️⃣ A weekly research briefing delivered to Gmail, connected to Perplexity for live web research, with a clickable macOS desktop app for whenever she wants to run it outside the schedule. These are all solving problems that had been annoying someone for months or years, or ways to show up more fully in their lives. It’s weirdly addictive to watch. We’re opening a second cohort soon. Enrollment will be extremely limited, and it’ll only be open to people on the waitlist. Join the waitlist here: joinaiagentmastermind.com
