Here’s my typical Sunday: In the morning I start a few agents and then I go to the lake or the springs with my family while they get to work.
Yesterday I left two projects running:
1 – VINTAGE RESELLER: A app for Selina’s new vintage clothing reselling company so she doesn’t have to worry about tracking inventory on spreadsheets.
2 – AGENTIC BUSINESS SYSTEM: This is rather meta. I set my Claude agent on autopilot managing a bunch of its own agents to continue building out a agentic platform that helps me create, deploy and track agents for my consulting clients (!!) It’s been my most complex project yet, with lots of learning lessons along the way, but totally worth it. I have my first client testing the system, and it’s working great so far. It allows me to create custom interfaces for whatever they need and makes my job of solving their problems way more streamlined.
By the time we got home, Agent #1 had ready to review prototype, and Selina loved it, she gave me some feedback, and by the end of Avatar 3 it was ready for her to start entering her inventory. Agent #2 had completed another day of complex work… ready to jump in to the next task again whenever I gave the command.
Here’s the common theme: The more of a CLEAR PLAN you create up front, the longer these agents can move towards an actual goal to deliver you something 95% of the way there. For example, with Selina’s app, I chatted with the AI for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half, to plan out the functionality, all BEFORE asking it to create the first line of code. I told it to ask me for everything it needed up front, and to create its own series of testing suites, so I could leave it unattended for a longer period. Then I asked it to give me a handoff prompt to start the process, clicked send, and it literally told me: “I’m on it. Enjoy your time at the lake!”
Once in a while, an agent gets stuck needs to ask me a question, so it’s helpful to have a little remote viewer app on your phone to go in from time to click a couple of buttons if needed. This isn’t mandatory, but I like the idea of it just chugging along at home and having something awesome to show me when I get back from the lake.
I don’t just do this while I’m away, either. Throughout the day, I usually have at least two agentic processes running while I do additional manual work, checking back on them once in a while. I’m always thinking of ways to even streamline all of this even further, but I found that rather than getting overloaded, I just learn all of this piece by piece.
10 months ago, I’d never even touched a line of real code. Now I’m building full-on apps, payment portals, custom workflows. What an insane time to be creative AND willing to learn new stuff to see your creations realized.
