💡 Today's Key Insight:

Don't learn to build AI. Learn just enough to direct the people who know how to.

Don't Learn AI

…if you're a non-technical founder.

I know what you're thinking.

WTF? Isn't this the opposite of everything you've been telling me?

Not exactly. Let me explain.

I am as non-technical as they come. I’ve always avoided learning new tech and tried to learn just enough so I could delegate the work.

But 2026 AI seemed different. So this year I really tried learning how to build agents. I put in the work.

And….I wasted so much time (FML).

My first month building was a total write-off. None of the agents I built were done in a way that lasted — every one had some small detail I didn't know to build properly. Months later, they all started to break.

At one point I had 20 automations running that all had minor mistakes.

So, I got fed up, worked with one of my engineers to learn how to properly build skills & agents (and deleted everything I had built until that point).

What I Learn Shocked Me

In my first session with my engineer I learned some annoying sh*t. Anyone can build these tools, but there is still an entire world of knowledge one must have to truly build them properly.

There are effective ways to set them up.

Effective ways to test them.

Effective ways to scale them over time.

There are thousands of small tricks that engineers know when scoping these builds.

My Aha moment

After building and learning for several months it hit me:

I totally get this.

I understand how the file structures work. How to scope skills. How skills create a proper foundation for an agent. What loops are. What it means to orchestrate a swarm of agents.

How to do this to build an AI native business.

And once I understood it, I could direct others to build it.

That is the target for founders.

We do not have time to learn all the nuance of building AI. But what we need to make time for is to understand the high level concepts.

Once we do, we can define what we want to have built, communicate it in a way that a technical team member can build it and let them cook.

Final Thought

Don't learn how to build AI.

Learn the framing and the general architecture — enough to talk to your builders/engineers, not so much that you're choosing to build for hours a day.

If you know what a good output looks like, what tools you have at your disposal, and roughly how they work — that's all you need.

Stay in the rainmaker seat.

Let others build.
