BTS: How successful entrepreneurs are using AI agents

πŸ€– Ever wondered how successful entrepreneurs are actually using AI agents?

Today's What's Up Wednesday features Andrew Wilkinson, who runs a casual $180M+ company (no big deal 😎), spilling the tea on his favorite AI tools.

Here's a simple reframing: Andrew says forget "AI agents" - think "digital employees" instead! This helps you better appreciate and predict how you can tap on this technology.

Here's how Andrew is leveraging his silicon workforce:

  1. πŸ“± Lindy (Think Zapier for AI)
    • Creates a personal bot that preps meeting briefs (pulls from calendar, LinkedIn, email). No more wandering into a meeting while being unprepared!
    • Calls restaurants to make reservations (because who has time for hold music?)
      Fun fact: Andrew prefers AI over humans for consistency - humans tend to drift from the target over time as we get busy and tired
  2. πŸ—“οΈ Howie.ai
    The scheduling superhero that we needed! No more "when works for you?" ping-pong matches.
  3. πŸ“§ Fyxer
    Your inbox's new best friend that:
    • Sorts emails like Marie Kondo on steroids- it prioritises emails that need a response
    • Drafts responses in your voice (minus your coffee-deprived typos)

πŸ’‘ Bonus wisdom from co-host Shaan: Create your personal "AI wishlist" (fancy name: eval set). It's like a shopping list, but for tasks you want AI to handle. Keep checking if the AI is actually crushing it for your use case- who cares if the AI aces LSATs when all you want is a customer support agent!
