Working with agents

my Saturday, working with agents

23 May 2026

I've been asked to share more about my way of working - and these days, it's all about agents. I love working with agents so much - for example, I've been managing 6 agents today, with more work done in a few hours than would have taken me weeks before (with my wife and kids out, I had time to dedicate time on a Saturday).

Some examples:

Product Demos

  • created 2x custom Avatar demos
  • extracted images from Powerpoint files, renaming them all in a descriptive way, creating a description for each based on content, and finally creating an index that other agents can use to use the right picture, in the right circumstance.
  • fixed issues in Powerpoint decks that have bugged me recently

Prospecting

  • created a batch of new people to reach out to, with a full brief per person, ready for outreach (note that outreach is done manually, I've stopped automating this part a few months ago)
  • created personalised one-pagers for ongoing discussions I am having with prospects

Presentations

  • created a very important Powerpoint, for a complex project & company.. even with a multi-agents setup and orchestration, they took 30+ mns (very long for non-coding related long running tasks, in my experience)

Web Server configuration

me:
When I go to my site https://xxx.zzz.com, I see this [screenshot of open directory listing].
How can I have the root of this subdomain point to https://yyy.com instead (while keeping my app under /abc)?

agent:
one .htaccess at the subdomain root above the /abc/ folder. I can put it there now via SSH.
...
Done, and verified live.

I just asked a question - but it did it before I came back to this agent! (this project is in "bypass permissions" mode)

Those who remember the time spent on Stackoverflow and endless searches to resolve IT or programming issues, will relate at the feeling this creates! 🤗

Hobby projects

indexAll

I'm building a "Brand Discovery Index" to help explore and discover brands in my (people's) interest areas.
eg. I like to know "all German brands of mechanical watches", or "what is the oldest French watch brand" 🤷🏻‍♂️

My agent has
- created new indexes
- found and researched brands for these new indexes
- corrected some data issues (at scale) I had identified
- fixed a layout issue I identified on mobile

Notes site

I have a public notebook site. Had some challenges using Search this week, on mobile.

  • fixed Search issues, but while at it..
  • updated the footer with missing logo and new layout for mobile

Been working for some time now with agents, and I'm still amazed every day, at how powerful it is, and becomes more and more every day.

I cannot encourage more everyone to start diving into agents - whatever your platforms/tools of choice, or imposed to you - and to experience on a daily basis the future of work I'm living now every day.
