Today’s Episode
As an AI PM, you’re probably tired of building AI Agents and don’t know how to monetize them.
But what if I told you there’s a company adding $1 million ARR every 10 days with their AI agent?
Zach Lloyd, CEO of Warp and former Google engineering leader, cracked the code. His terminal-based AI agent has 700,000+ active developers paying real money.
This episode is his complete playbook for AI PMs who want to build agents that actually make money.
I hope you enjoy this one!
