[Felix Rieseberg @felixrieseberg]

Today, we’re releasing a feature that allows Claude to control your computer: Mouse, keyboard, and screen, giving it the ability to use any app.

I believe this is especially useful if used with Dispatch, which allows you to remotely control Claude on your computer while you’re away.

We’re about to stop browsing the internet.

Not because websites disappear… but because agents start doing the browsing for us.

On the latest episode of This New Way, I sat down with @chris_nectiv (SEO/AEO/GEO veteran, now building Nectiv.) and we went deep on what AI is doing to search right now:

- LLMs are becoming the discovery layer, and Google is turning into the verification layer
- Google is pushing toward an “agent-ready web” (Chris breaks down WebMCP and why it matters)
- The conversation is shifting from “optimize for users” to “optimize for agents” (treat them like a VIP visitor)
- We demo MCPs in action: using Ahrefs + Google Analytics through Claude to pull insights, compare competitors, cluster keyword universes, and build strategy without living in dashboards
- The uncomfortable truth: attribution is getting messier… even when usage is exploding

If you’re in marketing, growth, SEO, or product, this one will change how you think about “being found” in 2026.

This morning signals a real shift.

The regime’s actions brought the region here.

May this mark the beginning of something much, much better for the people of Iran.

40 minutes. 1 voice agent. 1 video ad. Zero code.

Built it live on @aydin's podcast.

This is what 10x execution looks like.

Most businesses don't have an AI problem. They have an execution problem. AI is just the fastest way to fix it.

I just saw what Fellow built with Ask Fellow… and this is different.

Instead of taking notes after meetings,
you just tell it what needs to happen - emails, docs, follow-ups — and it actually executes.

This might quietly change how teams run meetings.

They’re doing a live walkthrough Feb 25.
Worth watching. Link below if you want to see it in action.

40 minutes. 1 voice agent. 1 video ad. Zero code. We did it live on the podcast.

@samruddhi_mokal (Pace Labz) came on and built an entire business from scratch while we recorded.

She used VO3.1 to generate a video ad that would cost tens of thousands at a production agency.

Then one prompt in Claude Desktop and a working voice agent was live on VAPI, answering calls and converting customers for a premium dog food company.

Start to finish, 40 minutes.

The thing that changed how I think about software: the interface is becoming irrelevant. You tell Claude what you want. Claude goes into VAPI, Smithery, or Gamma and builds it. You never have to learn the tools. Your agent learns them for you.

We also got into why the biggest AI opportunity right now might be people with 20 years of industry knowledge who just haven't added AI yet.

She joined 8 years ago as our first content writer. Now she manages agents instead of people.

@ManuelaBarcenas used to spend months writing a single ebook. She managed an army of 30 freelance writers.

Today she updated 100 blog posts in one week. By herself. With Claude.

On this episode of This New Way, she breaks down exactly how:
- Creating prompts by explaining your challenge to AI (not writing prompts yourself)
- Building "agent projects" in Claude that remember your brand voice, positioning, and style
- Using Ask Fellow to extract real customer quotes from sales calls and turn them into original content in hours

Here's what struck me: She said this felt "vulnerable" to talk about.

Because it's real. Marketing has changed. The job is different now.

Knowing what good content looks like matters. The AI writes. You decide if it's worth publishing.

If you're in content marketing and wondering how to actually use AI without producing slop, watch this one.

[leadership & Alignment focused @shwetkX]

The average exec makes decisions based on a version of reality that doesn't exist.

Talked with @aydin about how AI can close that gap: scaling trust, automating psychological safety, true org mapping & context!

Nobody’s an IC anymore. Everyone’s a manager of agents. But here’s the real question: what happens when managers become agents too?

In today’s episode of This New Way, I sat down with Shweta Kamble and Hari Iyer, the founders of HaloVision, to explore how AI could take on some of the most valuable (and hardest-to-scale) parts of leadership.

We talk about AI as an active listener that can have confidential 1:1 conversations with employees, surface real organizational bottlenecks, quantify their impact, and help executives make better decisions faster.

One idea that really stuck with me:
AI that understands incentives, context, and nuance across an entire organization, and can support people management at a level most managers simply don’t have the time or capacity for today.

We also dig into:
• How trust, confidentiality, and psychological safety make or break this kind of system
• Why evals and auditability matter when AI outputs drive real decisions
• What it actually means to build an AI-native company from day one

If you’re thinking about agents, leadership, or how work changes when “listening” becomes scalable, this episode is for you.

1,500 people. Supported by AI agents. I had to see the workflows myself to believe it.

Most companies are still hiring people to do work that AI handles today.

Hai Nghiem from @AgiVentures Canada came on This New Way and walked me through how his team actually operates.

They qualify inbound leads with agents. They write follow-ups. They generate SOWs. They support a community of 1,500+ people.

What blew my mind - they're not a massive team. The agents are doing work that would normally take 10-15 more people.

And Claude Code is at the center of it. Not just for developers. Non-technical people are using it too once they understand how context engineering works.

Hai showed me what "go-to-market engineering" looks like in practice. Teams are shrinking SDR orgs without losing output.

Skills, sub-agents, how to structure context so agents can actually execute. Real examples of AI filling out forms, responding in Discord, handling work most teams still do manually.

You don't need to be technical to start using this stuff. But you do need to see what's possible. This episode is a good place to begin.
