Listen Later

Dan talks with Taylor Pearson about a new wave of “agentic AI” tools like Claude Code — and how founders are using them to tackle projects that used to take days or weeks. From analyzing financials to running workflows and speeding up big internal projects, these tools can act more like a business collaborator than a chatbot. They also walk through how to take the first step if you want to start experimenting.
