Building AI Agents that actually work (Full Course)

Synopsis

Remy Gaskell on building agents that run entire business departments: the agent loop, context files, memory, MCP tool connections, and skills. Builds a functional executive assistant live; compares Claude Code, Codex, Cowork, Antigravity, Manus and OpenClaw as platforms.

Ideas in this episode

• AI executive assistant agent

  Remy Gaskell's course frames a reusable skills library, context files, memory, MCP tool connections, and SOPs as the core components for agents that can run repeatable business departments.

• Vertical AI agents (specialty)

  Package a 'skills library' for client onboarding and reuse the same SOPs across several vertical products.
