Episode notes

Today's Agents Behave Like Smart Zaps

  • Andrew Wilkinson thinks current agent systems are smarter Zapier flows, not autonomous executives, because they still need step by step operating instructions.
  • He expects true company running agents only after much larger context windows let models retain enough memory to act like CEOs.

Vibe Coded Products Need Borrowed Credibility

  • Greg Isenberg argues vibe-coded products need a credibility layer because polished AI output alone does not make users trust high stakes recommendations.
  • Andrew Wilkinson says Deep Personality likely needs a partner like Jay Shetty or a public aspirational couple to feel legitimate.

Vector Databases Turned His Holdings Into Queryable Memory

  • Andrew Wilkinson centralized meetings and company data into markdown files, Gbrain, and vector databases so he can query his businesses conversationally.
  • One query surfaced that his family office made 132 direct investments, with invested and current values broken down instantly.
