I just competed in Google's AI Agent Bake-Off—a high-pressure, 5-hour challenge where teams had to build a fully functional agent-powered banking application completely from scratch. Thanks to the right strategies (and a lot of caffeine), I was able to win the challenge. You can watch the full AI Agent Bake-Off competition here: 👉 https://youtu.be/0CQxF56MKWo?si=7cpRbwkucBuXcwCz But if you want to see what really happened behind the scenes, I'm breaking down the exact 5 strategies I used so you can apply them to your own AI agent projects. Here's what you'll learn: ✅ How to use AI reference projects to jumpstart your development and build faster ✅ The power of "talking to your computer" to prototype and debug with natural language ✅ Why creating an agent workflow digital twin saves you hours of coding time ✅ How to train AI to work directly with your tech stack and APIs ✅ The secret to parallel AI development for rapid testing and iteration Plus, I'm giving away the complete source code from the winning banking app—so you can see real, working examples of these strategies in action! 👉 https://github.com/bhancockio/ai_agent_bake_off_ep_2 Whether you're building agents for the first time or looking to level up your workflow, these 5 tips will help you work smarter and faster.

Hey everyone! Everyone has gone crazy about nano banana's capabilities. but few used it outside of gemini studio. So I decided to do a little deep dive into how you can build products with it instead :) This tutorial is about creating product listings for eCommerce brands. Here's what you'll learn: ✅ What makes the nano banana model so good ✅ How you can run it from your own IDE (e.g. Cursor) ✅ How you can build complex AI workflows that comprise a mix of image generation & analysis ✅ How you can build a nice UI to connect to your freshly created AI workflow There are 100s of additional use cases I could explore and would love to hear your thoughts on what you'd like to see next!

Hey everyone! I recently came across a platform called Dust that supposedly lets you build complex AI agents with zero coding experience. So I obviously wanted to put it to the test in my latest video, which happens to be my first Masterclass. Here’s what you’ll learn: ✅ What makes the platform Dust special ✅ How you can query your company data in minutes ✅ How you can build complex multi AI agent systems that can reply to emails, craft custom sales proposals, etc. ✅ How you can connect Dust to platforms like n8n Thought you might like this walk-through :-)

Last night, we had an amazing call with Dan Martell, the renowned AI expert and entrepreneur. On the call, Dan covered some incredibly valuable topics: 1️⃣ He shared his "AI Adoption Ladder" framework, which outlines the 5 key stages of AI adoption in businesses. This was super insightful for understanding where our own businesses and skills currently sit. 2️⃣ Dan dove into the top trends he's seeing in building successful AI-powered startups, including the importance of targeting specific verticals and leveraging distribution partnerships. 3️⃣ He also provided a ton of practical, actionable advice on how to go from 0 to $10M ARR with just a 2-person team. His emphasis on simplicity, customer focus, and leveraging AI was really eye-opening. You can check out the full recording of the call here: https://www.skool.com/ai-developer-accelerator/classroom/34937f13?md=5a1f28f32b8d484a87c6a515c6d3358d Or, you can visit the classroom and look for the guest speaker section. I highly recommend watching it - Dan shared so much invaluable wisdom that I know will help take our AI businesses to the next level. Let me know if you have any other questions!
