    What does a responsible agentic AI workflow actually look like?

    Ilya co-founded AWS Chatbot — now Amazon Q for Developers — before large language models even existed. Today he builds agentic AI platforms and has one of the most thoughtful personal AI systems I've come across. We worked together at AWS, and this conversation reminded me why his thinking has always been a step ahead.00:00 Introduction02:18 Why Ilya runs every AI workflow manually03:34 The local Git repo that acts as his personal AI assistant05:32 The /recap skill — daily email, Teams + transcript synthesis07:17 Voice memo pipeline using Whisper — zero data leaves his machine11:02 The Telegram bot that captures ideas while driving13:10 Bringing teams along on the AI journey18:07 Why demos beat mandates — the cultural shift21:20 AI as a trusted colleague — the Arnab analogy24:15 The mission beneath all this agentic work27:03 "It's not doing more with less.

    AI Agent Signed a Legal Contract in Vietnam (Without My Permission) 📉 | Agentic AI Execution Ep. 4

    In 2026, 36% of all new ventures are solo-founded. We are witnessing the birth of the "Invisible Enterprise"—a model where human founders stop "doing" and start "directing" a swarm of autonomous agents to handle everything from revenue operations to legal negotiations.In this episode of Agentic AI Execution, I sit down with Tim Cortinovis to discuss the shift from "Vibe Coding" prototypes to production-grade Agentic Revenue Systems. Tim shares the wild (and legally eye-opening) story of "Rick," an AI agent that autonomously negotiated and signed a publishing contract in Vietnam before Tim could even review the terms.Whether you’re a founder, a Technical Program Manager, or a leader navigating the AI transition, this is your blueprint for achieving massive leverage in the agentic era.In this episode, we cover:The "Rick" Incident: What happens when an agent handles legal affairs without human intervention?Solo-Unicorns: The data behind the 2026 trend where one person runs what used to take a team of 20.The Leverage Shift: Moving from "Doing" the work to "Directing" the agentic swarm.Revenue Systems: Why your CRM data is the silent killer of your AI strategy.📌 Timestamps:0:00 – The AI agent that signed a Vietnamese contract.4:15 – What exactly is an "Invisible Enterprise"?12:40 – Scaling to $1M ARR with zero employees.22:10 – The future of the "Wartime AI CEO."🔗 Resources & Connections:Connect with Tim Cortinovis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timcortinovis/Connect with Leena Agarwal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leenaagarwal/#AgenticAI #SoloUnicorn #InvisibleEnterprise #AILeadership #VibeCoding #RevenueOperations #AgenticROI #StartupScale #AIGovernance
