Ethan Mollick’s new guide draws a sharper line between casual chat and serious agent work
The post summarizes Ethan Mollick’s latest guide on getting more from AI, arguing that the gap between casual chatbot use and serious work with agents is widening.
It also highlights NLW’s accompanying AI Summer Adventure, a free choose-your-own-adventure program with more than 20 hands-on projects. Those projects range from building better context and making a first app to creating an AI-staffed microbusiness and running agentic loops. The emphasis is on practical experimentation rather than passive reading.
