How to Build an AI-Native Company in 2026

Deskripsi

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.

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.
