AI Agents 101: The Skill That’ll 10x Your Career
A free lighting session, Fri, Nov 21, 2025. Join 1,502 AI PMs (and growing fast). #1 most popular session on Maven.
Yesterday, a PM asked me about the #1 AI skill to learn in 2026.
My answer: building production-ready AI agents.
Most PMs are still stuck at the “prompt engineering” layer. They’re chaining instructions and tweaking wording.
But the real leverage comes from understanding how to build agentic systems that can reliably reason, plan, retrieve context, take actions, and even operate without step-by-step instructions.
Here’s why:
The the true autonomy has just become possible (GPT-5/GPT-5.1).
Building agents forces you to understand reasoning loops, tool orchestration, context engineering, and the real patterns and constraints that separate demos from agents in production.
It makes you 10x more productive because instead of doing tasks, you start designing systems that do them for you.
It also makes you a far better PM because you stop thinking in “features” and start thinking in “autonomous systems” — which is exactly where every AI-native product is going.
On Friday (tomorrow), I’m hosting a free live session with Product Faculty where I’ll walk you through how to build an autonomous AI agent from scratch.
You’ll learn:
The architecture behind modern AI agents.
How to turn a workflow into a fully autonomous agent.
How PMs can design agent behaviors without coding.
The biggest mistakes PMs and engineers make when building agents.
A live walkthrough of building a working agent from zero.
If you want to learn the skill that will define the next decade of product roles, this is the place to start (sign up for $0):
See you tomorrow!
P.S. The recording will be available to everyone who signs up.
P.P.S. 1,502 people have signed up, including 700+ just in the last 24 hours. Our session jumped to the #2 position on Maven 🤯🙏
P.P.P.S. An hour later, it's now the #1 lighting lesson on Maven.
