Now he's building HyperAgent. He asked me: if you could hire as many people as you want for almost zero cost, what roles would you fill first? I didn't have an answer. We covered the two skills that will make you superhuman in the agent era, how to build a virtual twin of yourself so you stop being the bottleneck in your own company, and why builders are going to win the next few years.
