Ride the Agentic Wave

Rekindle Your Inner Builder: How to Ride the Agentic AI Wave

The AI revolution is here, and every leader I speak to is asking the same question: "How do I really harness this power?"

Reading articles and watching demos isn't enough. Interacting with ChatGPT for an hour doesn't give you a visceral feel for what's possible. The truth is, the best way—perhaps the only way—to truly immerse yourself in AI is to stop being a spectator and start building.

You need to set up an agentic IDE and go hard on some dimension that matters to you.

Your Personal Backlog is a Goldmine

Most founders and product managers are natural systems thinkers. You have a personal backlog of ideas and moonshots—the "what ifs" and "if onlys" that you've collected over the years. These are the projects you'd tackle yourself if you only had the time or the right team.

Too often, that passion gets lost. You're forced to rely on teams that may not share your vision or possess your skill in systems thinking. Your backlog becomes a wasted and forgotten exercise.

But what if you didn't have to rely on anyone else?

This is where the psychological magic of modern AI comes in. Of late, I've found my own capabilities have exploded. Projects that I would have previously shied away from, or found daunting to even start, are now a breeze. That’s because an AI co-pilot doesn't just write code; it eliminates the friction of starting. It turns a blank page into a working prototype in minutes.

This has a profound psychological effect. It builds confidence. It replaces hesitation with momentum. It reactivates that core passion for building things.

So, my advice is simple: dust off that backlog and start using your tokens!
