AI isn’t just answering questions anymore — it’s doing the work. In this episode, Aamir Qutub and co-host Davina Montgomery unpack the rise of AI agents: digital teammates that can plan, decide, and act across your business.
We explore how agents are being used in real companies — from safety bots trained on OHS manuals, to HR advisors, to a LinkedIn post-builder that learns your voice. You’ll learn how to train and test your own agents (fast), why managers of the future will spend as much time training agents as they do people, and how to set up guardrails so these agents don’t go rogue.
What’s inside:
- Agents vs. Assistants: why actions beat answers
- Real-world use cases: safety, HR, events, and marketing agents
- How to train agents with your knowledge, not just public data
- Guardrails, testing, and edge cases — keeping them useful
- Why “managing agents” will be tomorrow’s job skill
- A simple path to building your first agent with ChatGPT or Copilot

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
