Want to get an AI MBA for free? I just put together a speedrun curriculum that will teach you everything you need to know in 30 minutes.

The last class I did was a series of 12 lessons, and I figured out how to condense 90% of the value into just one 30-minute lesson.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

1. Large Language Models
2. Prompt Techniques
3. Context Windows
4. RAG
5.  Tool Calling
6.  MCP
7. Structured Output
8. Workflows
9. Agents

Let me know if you want to join the class (live or via recording)!

I just built an AI agent to automate competitive research.

You give it a list of competitors and it will create a monthly research report that includes any notable news:
- positioning changes
- pricing changes
- product launches
- funding announcements
- new customers or partnerships

It's pretty cool! Let me know if you're interested in checking it out.

🚀 Today we’re launching a brand new Relay.app! It’s a totally new way of thinking about AI agents, and it’s going to enable EVERYONE to build their own AI team. 🚀

We’re live on Product Hunt today and would really appreciate your support here: https://lnkd.in/g7Kp-zvf

2025 was supposed to be the “year of the AI agent.” But for many people, it wasn’t. Setting up agents was too hard and technical. Working with agents was too unpredictable and frustrating.

Here’s what makes AI agents in Relay.app different:

Anyone can create agents. You work with AI agents just like you work with people. You ask your agent to do things for you and give it feedback to get better. No code, JSON, terminal, or MCP needed.

Agents are predictable and reliable. You teach your agent skills with simple prompts, and it turns those into easily understandable, consistent workflows. Plus, your agent can keep a human-in-the-loop for anything high stakes. No random actions you can’t explain.

I know these agents actually work because I couldn’t do my job without them. I’m the founder of Relay.app, but I’m also the sales team, marketing team, support team, HR team, and finance team. My AI agents have handled 26,323 webinar signups, closed the support loop with 2,253 customers, briefed me before 1014 meetings, reviewed 307 partner applications, and much more.

To start building your own AI team, head over to Relay.app and try it out for free. I can’t wait to hear your feedback.

My post-bedtime project for today: a morning briefing I can listen to every morning at 6:30 while I'm making breakfast / lunch for the kids.

Heres how it works:
- Fetches all of my emails from the 10 prior hours
- Fetches all of my meetings for the day
- Uses AI to write a briefing report
- Converts that to speech
- Sends me the audio file over Slack

It's actually really useful and only took me about 5 minutes to set up! Let me know if you're interested in a template.

Working with AI (prompting, vibe coding, building AI agents) is now the most important skill for every job seeker.

And LinkedIn just rolled out a really cool way to show off your expertise. Here's how it works:

1) You use a product like Descript for video editing, Lovable / Replit for vibe coding, or Relay.app for AI agent building.

2) Once you hit a certain level of proficiency, you'll get a notification that you've reach a new skill level with a button to share on LinkedIn.

3) As your skills improve, your certification will automatically update, so future employers can be confident in your skills!

Read more about it in Techcrunch and on Engadget (and check out the cool hero image of Relay.app too 😁 )

If you want to get better at posting on LinkedIn, I made an AI agent that you have to try.

In the last 9 months, I've gotten over 10 million impressions on LinkedIn 📈 , but in the 9 months before that, I only got 200k impressions. So I've gotten A LOT better at creating useful content.

Here was the key for me: spend less time posting and more time learning from people who are good at it

This taught me a ton, but it got really time consuming to be on here all day waiting to see which posts go viral! So I built an AI agent to do it for me :).

Here's how it works:

- I give it a handpicked set of people whose posts I really like (for me it's people like Kyle Poyar, Dharmesh Shah, and Marty Kausas)
- Every week it looks up recent posts from all of the people on the list
- It then creates a synthesis of which posts performed best in terms of comments and reactions, and why it thinks those posts were good.
- Finally it sends me a clean summary over Slack.

It's super useful! Let me know if you want to check it out and give me some feedback.

Have you ever wished you could get through your email inbox while driving or doing the dishes?

It turns out this is possible now! It's really easy to build your own voice agent and hook it up to your email. It can:

1) Summarize and prioritize your emails.
2) Read them out to you.
3) Draft replies.
4) Archive and label.

Want to build one for yourself? I'm teaching a live class on Tuesday, Oct 21 at 10am PT, and you'll have one working by the end of the session.

No technical experience required! Let me know if you want to join.

Want to use AI to make client proposals faster?

I'm hosting a "Build an AI agent with me" session this Wednesday, October 29 at 9:30am PT with Will Leatherman .

Will will show you how to build a Client Proposals Agent that can automatically generate tailored proposals based on meeting transcripts, client research, and your previous projects.

We'll walk through the entire setup together and have a working agent ready to go in about an hour.

Let me know if you're interested in joining! (no technical experience required)
