From talkers to doers
AI agents are the shift from things that chat to things that act on your behalf. This session framed that shift — drawing on Jack Clark's "talkers to doers" line and Azeem Azhar's mental models for working with AI — and gave attendees two practical framings for finding their first agent: the 50x reframe (what would you do with fifty people?) and the 5x rule (any task you repeat five times a week is a candidate). The take-home exercises pair those models with an "Interview Me" prompt that makes the AI probe you before it suggests anything.
