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. He also showed me his real setup live: an agent that monitors X 24/7 and pushes him only what matters, and a full billboard campaign his agents ran end-to-end. If you've been reading about agents but haven't deployed one yet, Howie gives you three steps to start today. 📌 Limited BONUS: Hyperagent is giving away $1,000 in free credits to the first 1,000 subscribers who sign up through my link — claim yours here: https://hyperagent.com/invite/MARINA-HA?utm_source=youtuber&utm_medium=influenceer&utm_campaign=MARINA-HA *Timestamps:* 00:00 Intro 00:43 The real state of AI right now 03:06 The evolution no one mapped 07:58 Claude vs. ChatGPT vs. HyperAgent — how to actually choose 12:12 Building a virtual twin of yourself with AI 15:39 Live demo: Howie's real productivity setup 20:22 How to develop the builder mindset 24:58 Fun agent use cases 29:05 First 3 steps to start with agents today 31:15 The two skills that will make you superhuman *Links:* 📩 Follow my Newsletter: https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=HowieLiu 🔗 My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/ 📌 My Companies & Products: https://Marinamogilko.co
