One thing was clear from my conversation with Brady Cohen: We share a genuine curiosity and passion for learning. As a lifelong marketer and business developer, Brady has always been driven by a desire to improve experiences through technology.
"I'm really curious and like to learn new things and use technology to improve experiences," he shared early in our conversation. This mindset has propelled him into the world of AI, where he's been exploring the potential of AI agents to transform everyday tasks. Listen to his insights on the latest episode of the Prompted podcast:
Brady's journey into AI began with a simple question: "How can I use technology to be more efficient or improve an experience for a consumer in the daily work that I do or my team does?"
This question led him to a workshop hosted by Agent.ai, where he discovered the power of AI agents.
The workshop was a turning point for Brady. It was here that he realized the potential of creating something repeatable and scalable, so he doesn’t have to keep restarting with a new prompt. This insight set the stage for his first foray into building AI agents.
Brady's first project was a Halloween party planner agent, a creative endeavor that won an award at the builder workshop. The idea was simple: an agent that could help people plan a party by taking away the headache of organizing details. Brady built the agent in less than a day, fueled by the excitement of seeing his idea come to life.
It was a testament to the power of hands-on learning: "I learn—and I think a lot of people do—just by doing." Brady continued to create more personal use agents from there.
Brady's journey with AI agents went on to intersect with his work at The Suite Collective, a venture offering fractional executive services. Here, he leveraged AI to streamline processes and enhance efficiency. The ability to automate tasks and improve workflows was a game-changer for the startup.
"Think of it as an assistant, or somebody that you want to hire, but you haven't gotten the approval to hire for," Brady explained.
This approach helps The Suite Collective to offer higher level expertise with less overhead. It was a perfect example of how AI can amplify human capabilities, enabling businesses to do more with less.
Throughout our conversation, Brady emphasized the importance of creativity and experimentation. He encouraged others to dive into AI with an open mind, free from the fear of failure. "There's no bad or good idea. Just go in and play and experiment and see what you can come up with," he advised.
This philosophy of play and exploration is at the heart of Brady's approach to AI. He sees each project as an opportunity to learn and grow.
Brady Cohen's journey with AI agents is a testament to the power of curiosity and creativity. His story inspires us to imagine what we could build if we embrace the tools at our disposal and dare to experiment.
