Allie K. Miller quotes Greg Isenberg, sharing the AI workflow of a former AWS executive who previously managed multi-billion dollar P&Ls.
This executive now operates an AI workforce of 34 agents. She reveals that the most powerful prompt she uses is only three words: "do smart things".
Her core philosophy is to provide agents with comprehensive context—including calendars, emails, Stripe data, goals, and transcripts—rather than micromanaging their tasks. By allowing the agents to autonomously decide what is worth doing, she bypasses the bottleneck where a company's growth is limited by what a human remembers to ask for. Furthermore, her human team communicates directly with these agents via Slack.
