Read the episodeSeries · The Chronicles
Chronicles of an entrepreneur and his AI agents.
A lived series, told from the inside. A founder in French-speaking Switzerland shows how he structures, names and puts his AI agents to work (seven when the series began, nine today, organised along the lines of a balanced scorecard, within a wider team of 25 in all). The successes are here, and so are the misfires and the short nights. Each episode shows Customer Zero in practice: being our own first customer.
