The AI PM’s Guide to Building AI Agents, with Warp CEO Zach Lloyd


Listen Later

Today’s Episode

As an AI PM, you’re probably tired of building AI Agents and don’t know how to monetize them.

But what if I told you there’s a company adding $1 million ARR every 10 days with their AI agent?

Zach Lloyd, CEO of Warp and former Google engineering leader, cracked the code. His terminal-based AI agent has 700,000+ active developers paying real money.

This episode is his complete playbook for AI PMs who want to build agents that actually make money.

I hope you enjoy this one!
