Podcast Lesson
"Treat AI agents exactly like new employee onboarding Having run a venture-backed startup through Y Combinator, Jesse Jana applied the same onboarding playbook she used for human hires to her AI agents: share a culture document, explain communication norms, and write an operating manual. "You should tell your agent how to work with you" — specifying what you like, what you dislike, and how to communicate — because "that really helps your agents operate how you'd like." Anyone who has ever hired someone and been frustrated by misaligned expectations can shortcut weeks of trial-and-error by writing this document for their AI setup on day one.
