If you want more workflows and tactics to build a business with AI, check out this free workshop: https://www.ideabrowser.com/workshop I sit down with Andrew Wilkinson and we go deep on how he's restructured his work, his health, and his family office around AI agents. Andrew walks me through Deep Personality (an app he vibe-coded after running psychological screens on himself and his girlfriend), the autonomous SaaS business he runs through agent harnesses like Harbor, and the vector-database setup that lets him query Tiny and his personal holding company like an oracle. We cover where software is headed, why he's pouring capital into TSMC and data center stocks, and the daily AI workflows he's built around health, email triage, and a personalized morning podcast. Listeners walk away with concrete prompting tactics, agent architectures, and a frank read on where the moats are moving.

Numbered Section Summaries 1. The December 2025 Claude Code Unlock Andrew describes the moment Claude Code clicked for him — waking up at 3 or 4 a.m. with ten terminal tabs open, running an entire SaaS business from the back of Ubers in Arizona while traveling laptop-free. The hook is real, the productivity gain is real, and the debugging tax is also real. 2. Harbor And The Architecture Of Autonomous Operations We dig into Harbor, the agent harness his friend Gavin Vickery built. Marketing, dev, and support agents share a knowledge base, run multivariate ad tests, and auto-merge P0 security fixes. Andrew argues support as a job is months away from disappearing, while marketing agents will reshape what a $100K/month ad budget looks like. 3. The Reality Check On Autonomous Companies I push back on the autonomous-company narrative around products like Pulsia. Andrew agrees that today's agents resemble "Zapier zaps with intelligence" — capable but requiring step-by-step instruction like a genius baby. The unlock arrives when context windows reach 5–10 million tokens and a model can hold a whole company in mind. 4. Centralizing Context With G-Brain And Vector Databases Andrew has standardized on Claude Code as his operating system and routes Fireflies transcripts, emails, and meeting notes nightly into G-Brain (Gary Tan's vibe-coded vector database tool). Trained on his family office data, the system surfaces $16M invested → $36M current value across 132 deals; trained on Tiny, it acts as the "eye of Sauron" across 24 portfolio companies.
