Welcome back to the Launch Key 🚀

My timeline has blown up with vibe-coding folks starting 2026 building new products. And while that feeds into the backstory of why this newsletter exists, I’m seeing some excellent personal use cases for AI agents. Focused useful tools that probably won’t get funding but are changing my opinion.

Are you leveraging AI agents? Interesting research? Proof of concepts? Do you see other uses we should cover? Comment below and bring us all up to speed.

Pull to Eject

One of the themes that both Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen talk about is how AI will free us all up to not have to work in the future.

And I’ve struggled with that concept.

Maybe it’s my Protestant upbringing or boomer age bracket, but I have a hard time seeing a future where working age citizens only have hobby interests because machines are doing all the so-called work.

Consumers have adopted Generative AI at a never-seen-before pace. The first gen images (remember the 6 fingered humans?) and content slop (sales email, LinkedIn, X, etc) didn’t leave me impressed. I keep updating my opinion as the trend accelerates.

Now that the large language model story has simmered, the growth of agents is the focus.

My opinion is that corporate is going to have a very hard time - culturally - acting like an agent-powered startup. There are huge governance and security concerns. How will they allow employees to manage hundreds of agents - some they didn’t create? How will employees react to reporting to an agent?

Corporations will get there, but the road is full of potholes.

But individuals? Solopreneurs? Late-career folks? Non-technical founders? Way easier. A team of one can move faster, break things, test something new and deploy this afternoon.

And even if you don’t have a business, agents can multiply your success in a single area of your life. Or just save time allowing you to focus on more important tasks.

Former Y-combinator founder Matt Schlicht shared this idea about wealth agents that make a lot more sense. We all have multiple sources for disparate financial data. The agent dashboard is an idea to handle tasks we all do need to do like shop for insurance, credit cards, or mobile phone deals. But agents can also manage your money and make better real time decisions.

Or a home command center where AI agents manage your property. Agents monitor your electrical, plumbing, irrigation systems and schedule maintenance as needed. Agents could also assist in a renovation project and apply for permits.

Or a similar idea for personal health monitoring. Not just your Whoop or Apple watch data, but a personal health command center where AI agents manage your body like you have a full-time medical team.

They monitor your vitals, track your macros, order your groceries, find preventive scans your insurance covers, message your doctors to extract maximum help, analyze your sleep, score your workout form via camera — all while talking to each other in real-time.

Could these types of AI agents free up my time and resources? Absolutely.

Could similar monitors improve a business? Or become the foundation of a new one?

You know the answer.
