the hype is real but so are the results. i automate marketing and sales teams with AI every week. it's not AGI, it's not magic. it's replacing repetitive workflows that never needed a human in the first place. the gap between what AI actually does well today and what people claim it does is where the real opportunity lives
auto mode is a game changer for production workflows. been using claude code to build entire client automation systems. the permission prompts were the biggest friction point. having classifiers decide what's safe to auto-approve vs what needs human review is exactly how it should work. trust but verify, at scale
this is the proof point. built in 1 hour, uses opus 4.6, completely free. a year ago this would have needed a developer, a designer, and a week of work. now one person ships it before lunch. this is exactly why i tell clients to stop hiring teams and start building AI systems. the leverage is insane
already running my entire agency on claude opus. marketing, outreach, client onboarding, content. all automated. if mythos is a step change above that, the gap between AI-automated businesses and manual ones becomes impossible to close. most companies haven't even caught up to what opus can do today
exactly. nothing gets killed, it gets restructured. claude didn't kill software engineering, it killed the junior tasks inside software engineering. AI didn't kill marketing teams, it killed the repetitive 80% of what they did. the roles that survive are the ones that know how to direct AI systems, not compete with them
the fact that AI is now building entire applications with its own internal planning is wild. seeing the same shift in business workflows. used to need a developer, a designer, and a PM to ship anything. now one person with the right AI tools builds in hours what took a team weeks. the planning monologue part is what makes agents actually useful vs just autocomplete
already happening. replaced a client's $2,400/month stack of 4 SaaS tools with AI agents that do the same job for $400. lead gen, email sequences, CRM updates, content scheduling. all workflows, all replaceable. the SaaS companies that survive will be the ones that become agent platforms first
the ad-supported model makes sense when the product genuinely saves time. seeing the same pattern in business AI tools. clients don't mind paying or seeing ads when the tool replaces hours of manual work. the real question is whether AI platforms become the next ad channel the way search and social did. if AI agents start making buying decisions for users, advertising shifts from persuading humans to optimizing for algorithms
unexpected combinations is exactly right. seeing this in AI automation too. the best results come from combining tools nobody thought to pair together. CRM data + AI voice agents, or browser automation + language models. the breakthroughs aren't in the individual tools, they're in how you connect them.
1500 applications for 30 spots says everything about where demand is right now. been deploying claude for clients to replace full marketing and outreach workflows. the gap between companies using claude in production vs still evaluating is growing fast. would love to see these workshops expand to europe too.
@TheRundownAI perplexity as a personal shopper is the one to watch here. this is exactly what the CNBC report showed this week. bots already outnumber humans online. now they're buying too. businesses that aren't optimizing for AI buyers are optimizing for a shrinking audience.
this is the pattern everywhere right now. companies sitting on massive datasets they didn't know were valuable until AI made them useful. seeing the same thing with client CRMs. years of customer data collecting dust, now powering AI outreach that outperforms manual teams 3 to 1. the real asset was always the data.
companies still running manual marketing, manual outreach, manual customer service are competing against AI systems that work 24/7.
AI systems cost $400/month.
a 3-person team costs $15,000/month.
same output.
the gap between automated and manual is growing every week. the internet moved on. has your business?
bots have officially overtaken humans on the internet.
not a prediction. a report from this week.
AI traffic grew 8,000% in one year. automated systems now generate more internet activity than people do.
most businesses are still marketing to humans through human-operated channels. but the buyer is becoming a bot.
shopify just launched agentic storefronts. your products sell directly inside ChatGPT and Gemini now. visa is testing AI-initiated payments.
the customer journey is being automated from both ends.
if you use AI for business, here's what to watch: mythos will likely be 3-5x more expensive than opus. but if it's genuinely better at coding and reasoning, the ROI math changes completely.
what would you build first with a model that's a "step change" above what we have now?
anthropic accidentally leaked their next AI model. it's called claude mythos. fortune broke the story an hour ago.
it's bigger than opus. a completely new tier called "capybara." anthropic says it's "the most capable model we've ever built."
here's what the leaked documents actually reveal.

the timing matters. bloomberg reported today that anthropic is considering an IPO as early as october 2026. wall street banks are already in discussions.
mythos is the product that justifies that valuation. if it performs as described, every enterprise AI deployment gets rewritten.
