Getting Started with AI Agents with Dan Corbin

“AI agents aren’t replacing humans—they’re freeing us to do more human work.”

In this episode, host Rebecca Kalogeris sits down with Dan Corbin, longtime Pragmatic instructor and AI course creator, to demystify one of the fastest-emerging technologies in product management: AI agents.

Dan explains what makes agents different from other tools like ChatGPT, why they matter, and how product and marketing teams can begin using them today.

Together, they explore practical use cases across the product lifecycle, including how AI agents can automate repetitive work, analyze support tickets, and even assist in discovery and prioritization. Dan also shares advice on how to structure your AI efforts: starting small, centralizing development, and always keeping humans in the loop.

If you’re curious about where AI agents fit into your strategy (and how to avoid the hype), this episode is your roadmap.
