This Session's Deep Dives

Builds members shared during Show & Tell, expanded into a step-by-step you can run yourself.

He built a fleet of PM agents that runs his team for $15 a week

All three agents run for ~$15/week on Sonnet 4.6 with prompt caching

The problemAction items and decisions get lost in Slack, and a human PM becomes the bottleneck.

Roman, the team's COO, demoed three autonomous AI 'employees' living in Slack. Slack PM posts a daily standup, tracks Action Items / Open Loops / Decisions Needed straight from natural-language conversation, and surfaces them on a Slack Canvas Kanban board. A Chief of Staff agent processes transcripts and Loom links, pulls the GoHighLevel pipeline, and writes a Monday 'week ahead' / Friday 'week in review' digest. An Agent Orchestration Director manages the whole fleet — monitoring, alerting on failures, routing work between agents, and being trained to self-heal. The architecture's core trick: each Claude skill is a 'skinny' pointer that reads its real instructions from a company-brain skill library on Google Drive, so any teammate can add a capability and it propagates to everyone.

What they built
  • Each agent is a 'skinny skill' (a symlink/pointer) that loads its real brain from a shared Google Drive library via the Drive MCP
  • Runs on Vercel cron jobs + a JS agent loop; GitHub holds the code ('the bodies'), Slack API is the interface, GoHighLevel is wired in
  • Built entirely in Claude Code by a self-described non-coder — including the architecture diagrams
Outcome

An always-on PM, chief of staff, and fleet manager that nudge the team daily and keep nothing lost in Slack.

Takeaway The skill in Claude is just a pointer. The brain lives in the company drive — so improving one agent improves it for the whole team.

They turned a skills library into a hireable team of 170+ AI employees

170+ skills/roles; public announcement targeted for next Friday

The problemBuilding skills one task at a time leaves you with a pile of disconnected prompts and 'ghost skills.'

Darby unveiled Agentic OS: a searchable web library of 170+ skills organized as AI-employee roles (Content Marketer, Sales Setter, Chief of Staff, and more), with a 'librarian' routing agent that finds and chains the right skills from a plain-English request. Each skill is copy-paste-able, downloadable as an .md file, and callable through an MCP connector inside Claude, Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. New skills flow through a 7–8-stage production pipeline and members can request or contribute their own.

What they built
  • Browse or ask the 'librarian' to surface and chain the right skills for an outcome
  • Three access paths: copy, download as .md, or add the Agentic OS MCP connector in Claude
  • A 7–8-stage skill-production pipeline (creator → architect → 'skill taste' review) keeps quality high
Outcome

A library of installable AI roles that gets you 80–90% of the way there, instead of building each skill from scratch.

Takeaway Hire the role, not the task. Build a Content Marketer with a soul and an identity — not a flat 'content skill.'

He took the company off Webflow and made the whole website agentic

The problemWebsites, funnels, and recaps are slow to build and maintain by hand.

After ten years on Webflow, Austin moved Agentic Society to an AI-built Astro/Vercel/GitHub stack — no one pushes pixels anymore. The rebuild includes a unified events page and the recap engine that auto-generates pages like this one: replay, downloadable transcript, room photo, the biggest ideas, quotes, and each member's Roses & Thorns and ask, all shareable to X/LinkedIn. He also shared the accuracy method behind it: running three recorders (Plaud, Fathom, Granola) and merging them into one cross-verified transcript, with names checked against the calendar.

What they built
  • Rebuilt the site with AI agents on Astro + Vercel + GitHub, brand-consistent via a synced style guide
  • Auto-generates a recap page per event (replay, transcript, big ideas, Roses & Thorns, share buttons)
  • Triangulates 2–3 recordings into one enriched, name-verified transcript per event
Outcome

A self-maintaining, fully agentic marketing site — recreated in a fraction of the original two-week build time.

Takeaway This is the future of funnels, brand management, and SEO — and you can do it from the back of a Waymo.

Technology is no longer just replacing our tools and software — it's replacing headcount. Not necessarily your current headcount, but your future headcount.

I'm not a software engineer. I've never written a single line of code in my life. All of this is done by Claude Code — including the architecture diagrams.

All three agents cost us about fifteen dollars a week. That's roughly five bucks per agent — for a system that replaces a salaried project manager.

The mindset is who, not how. I don't ask how do I do this — I ask who would I hire to do this. Then I build that role as an AI employee, with a soul and an identity.

I'm selling on mechanism because I'm a builder and I'm technical — I'm not selling on the outcomes. Almost every deal dies at the same place. That's the market signal.

Big ideas

The patterns that kept surfacing, with the people who said them best.

  1. 01

    Technology isn't just replacing your tools anymore — it's replacing headcount.

    Not necessarily your current headcount, but your future headcount. The savings come from pairing the right intelligence with the right capabilities.

  2. 02

    When you combine the ability to think with the ability to do, that becomes agentic.

    That's the separator of 2026. In 2025 AI was a thought leader in your Slack; now it can change your CRM and hit your point of sale.

  3. 03

    Who, not how.

    Don't ask how do I do this — ask who would I hire to do this. Then build that role as an AI employee with a job description, an identity, and an onboarding.

  4. 04

    The alpha is the content you use to onboard your AI employees.

    Whoever has the material to onboard a role onto their roadmap wins. Knock over that one domino and a week of onboarding compresses to an hour.

  5. 05

    The skill is just a pointer — the brain lives in the company drive.

    Roman's agents load their real instructions from a shared Google Drive library, so any teammate can add a capability and it propagates to the whole fleet.

  6. 06

    You don't need to be a coder to deploy an autonomous agent.

    Roman built an entire three-agent PM fleet — and its architecture diagrams — in Claude Code without ever writing a line of code.

    Read Roman's guide to Slack agents
  7. 07

    Organizations are getting flatter — more directors, fewer individual contributors.

    The future hires at agentic companies are people who maintain and manage their own AI direct reports.

  8. 08

    Sell the outcome, not the mechanism.

    Isaiah's deals kept dying at the same point because he pitched 'managed AI infrastructure' instead of the result. When every deal dies in the same place, that's the market signal.

  9. 09

    Sell the change underneath the problem.

    Jo realized she isn't selling a fix for any one condition — she's selling behavior change, the concrete base for almost everything people want to improve.

  10. 10

    When you find a winning format, milk it — don't chase the next new thing.

    Cristian grew from ~2,000 to ~140,000 followers by testing relentlessly, then doubling down the moment a format worked — one clip hit ~1M views in a day.

  11. 11

    Hold the room's value by going multiplayer.

    The more the work automates, the more the edge comes from proximity — seeing each other's prompts, workflows, and live builds.

Rose
Team has freed him from the day-to-day, he closed a new client, and he's launching a 'Siri Superpowers' front-end offer this week.
