In this conversation, we sit down with Mike Redbord, known as the “Human Helper” at Agent.ai. Mike has taught thousands of people to build their first AI agent through Agent.ai’s 101 workshops. He’s seen firsthand what sparks confidence, creativity, and real adoption.

  • Why starting small is the key to success in agent building
  • How play and experimentation lead to breakthrough ideas
  • The role of community and co-learning in building momentum
  • Insights from INBOUND 2025 and the shift from curiosity to imperative adoption
