Episode Description from the Publisher

Many of our clients are playing with Claude, building things, and telling us about their amazing new innovations.

These systems “become you” – which means you have to train, maintain, tune, and continuously monitor them. Here’s the story for a quick listen. Here is a brief background on “managing and maintaining” AI agents. And remember, this is the power of AI – you want it to “learn” about your company!  But like a junior staff member, you have to coach and train it.
