Podcast Lesson
"Teach agents skills so they self-improve over time After watching an AI agent complete a complex upload workflow, the speaker realized the real leverage comes not from one-off automation but from instructing the agent to write and save its own 'skills' — reusable memory of how a task is done. He explains the principle: 'first time you do it, you have a high amount of human supervision... I'm not going to get all those details in my initial prompt... and then I need you to update your prompts, or write your own skills.' Anyone building recurring automations should build in a 'save this as a skill' step so the agent improves with each run rather than starting from scratch.
