Episode notes
Coding Agents Lead The Pack
- Coding agents are the furthest‑along, real examples of agentic systems today.
- Their progress shows what nontechnical leaders should study to imagine agentic workflows for business.
Prompting Is The New Executive Skill
- Nontechnical leaders can emulate parts of coding agents by mastering prompts and workflows.
- That skillset acts like a "Claude Code of business" before fully autonomous agents arrive.
Start With Agentic Workflows Today
- Try building agentic workflows by combining prompts, context, and existing AI tools without heavy engineering.
- Use models directly for reasoning and set context instead of waiting for fully coded agents.
