THE LEVEL UP LETTER

Hi All!
Here is your weekly Level Up Letter. This week we’re taking a dive into AI. More specifically AI agents. While no one can really predict where AI will take us, we’re looking at how to implement it into our lives and businesses in beneficial ways. We hope you enjoy, and if you’re using AI agents in an interesting way, we’d love to hear about it!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

WHAT IS AN AI AGENT?

⁣AI agents are the next evolution out of LLMs. (Large Language Models) Rather than just being able to answer questions based on information in their modeling, agents are able to expand their reach. They can search outside sources, analyze data, integrate with other platforms and, the exciting part, they can start to do tasks for you.

AI agents are in their infancy but the possibilities of what they’ll be able to do seems endless. We want to harness the power of these agents to help us live better lives and run our businesses more effectively.

You can use them as personal assistants, researchers, fitness and nutrition guides, customer support agents, social media planners and SEO specialists. This is just the tip of the iceberg. We hope you take some time this week to think through where an AI agent could benefit your life or your business.

THREE AGENTS WE’RE PLAYING WITH

1. Sintra - How cute are these little workers? Sintra AI agents are a suite of employees you can use to help level up your business. They have agents dedicated to SEO, Copywriting, Social Media, Biz Dev etc etc etc. The AI has a built in “Brain” that learns more and more about your business as you answer questions to help refine how they work. They’re not perfect, but we’ve found them to be a huge help with SEO, brainstorming ideas, adjusting copy and planning out social media.

2. Replit - Replit went from being a coding translator into a full blow AI developer agent. Want to build an app? Build an integration between platforms? Create an SMS text workflow? For very little money, you can now have your own developer. Replit isn’t super straight forward. Having some knowledge of coding helps but even if you have no technical background, with enough trial and error you can build a product of your own.

3. OpenAI Operator - Ok, I’ll confess that we haven’t signed up for this yet but thought it was worth highlighting since it just launched. Unlike most AI Agents that integrate with other platforms through APIs, Operator is browser based, meaning it searches the web and controls functionality on pages more like a human would. It can search recipes, add the ingredients to instacart and prompt you to check out with payment. It’ll book your travel and you can input your preferences so that it remembers moving forward. (non-stop only, aisle seats, no red-eye flights etc) From what we’ve seen, it’s still not perfect and can’t do things like rearrange files on your computer but this is gen 1 and definitely worth keeping an eye on. For an AI agent it’s kind of expensive at $200 a month but that’s still cheaper than a personal assistant.

FINAL THOUGHTS

AI is one of the most interesting, scary and complex topics facing humanity today. Anyone that tells you that they know exactly where it will lead us is lying. We take the position that it’s better to understand new technology and leverage it in our favor than to avoid it. You’ll have to do your own analysis on what that looks like for you. But just like when computers and then when the internet was invented the people who embraced it, did far better than those who hid away from it.

We also have a strong belief in humans. As a species, we’ve adapted to new challenges, threats and hardships over and over again. The complexity of the human mind and the creativity that comes with that will be almost impossible to replace.
