ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

I cloned myself 5 times. Now they work for me

32:54Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

The five 'clones' are a team of agents with different roles, rather than complete human copies. Marco describes strategy, research, content, development and project management. He sees the move from chatbots to tools that perform activities as a change in work and imagines a business operated mainly by agents; in this episode it remains a proposal. The human role would move toward direction, taste and choice. However, the episode also stresses dangerous access, prompt injection, erosion of practiced skills and the possibility that greater efficiency leads to more work. Marco says he keeps the system separate from important accounts and recommends checks, cost awareness and using AI to extend capabilities. He distinguishes tasks he wants to delegate, such as editing, from personal decisions he wants to retain. He also mentions AI First, his own course, and 4books, a project he founded.
