I sit down with Allie K. Miller to talk about the shift from managing AI agents to enabling them. Allie runs a workforce of 34 AI agents led by an AI chief of staff named Simon, plus six directors named after Friends characters. She shares her three-word prompt, her daily AI diary, her AI watchdogs, and her rule to build the factory before the product. We then debate the future of software: why enterprises still want a vendor to call, and why consumer software now rewards taste and distribution. Listeners leave with one mindset shift and a first step they can finish in under three hours.

Key Points
Allie sits three rungs above her 34 agents. She sets the infrastructure and waits for escalations.
Her strongest prompt runs three words on top of full business context: do smart things.
She holds the risk tier steady and expands only the breadth and scope of agent work.
A dictated daily diary captures the context that lives outside meetings, email, and Slack.
AI watchdogs remain wide open: duplicate work, calendar conflicts, and meeting disagreements.
The bigger play is a software factory. Build the primitives once, then ship each product faster.
I see opportunity on both sides of software: enterprises want a vendor to call, and consumers reward taste.
