Think you need to code to use AI agents?

Joel Schols didn't write a single line. Joel is a fund manager at Chess Capital who built an AI agent to monitor his net-net positions. His entire token usage fits inside a $20-a-month account with room to spare.

In this episode, we cover how he set it up, what the agents actually do, and what the results have been. It's a practical walkthrough for one- and two-person investment teams, not a theory session.

ABOUT JOEL SCHOLSJoel is a telecommunications engineer who spent his career in ICT. Twenty years ago, he founded his own company, grew it largely by acquiring distressed businesses, and sold it in 2018 to one of Belgium's leading operators. That experience led him to value investing. With Sam Hollanders, he co-founded Chess Capital, a zero management fee fund, with a regulated Luxembourg fund in progress.
