I point AI agents at twenty years of my own data, and I show people how to do the same.
Clock in. Memorize. Repeat. Don't question the line.
Sit still. Memorize. Don't ask why. We're still drilling them for an economy that already left, and calling it school. That's not education. It's a setup, and the people we love most are the ones who pay for it.
The grunt work. The busywork. The parts of the day that quietly drain you.
AI and quantum, helping each person steer toward the job they'd choose, not the accidental work the information age handed them.
Less left to chance. More by design.
The honest part: sometimes the agent is wrong. I show the misses, not just the wins.
Judgment. Taste. Care. And teaching the next generation to spend their time here, on the work worth signing, not on the busywork a machine should have taken.
Get this right and we don't just survive AI. We bring everyone along, and we finally love the job.
My agents run on twenty years of my own data. The bigger move is everyone doing it: people pointing AI at the data they own, to put the human first. That is the whole philosophy, and this change does not happen alone. We build it together.
It is the simplest way I have found to structure the new work. Name who is on each side of an interaction, a human or an agent, and you know how to design it.
So the closing question I keep asking, what sandbox are you in?
If an agent took the draining half of your job tomorrow, what would you finally make with the time?
Every part of the site in one place: the deeper pages, the work and the companies, the writing, and where I post. Open whichever fits what you came for.
The short version in my words, the long record kept out of your way, the books, and the questions people actually ask.
Read the about page →The lanes I work in, the frames I keep coming back to, and every company I build, Collaboration.Ai, United We Transform, Open Work Lab, drawn as one branching tree.
Explore the map →Sorted by what it's about, not by date. The deep stuff and the human stuff, side by side, wherever you already read.
Read the writing →The primary ask is simple: follow along and read. If a door fits what you came for, find it here.
Find the right door →23,624 event agendas, judged on design. More than 9 in 10 show no evidence anything changed.
Read the report →The ideas I keep coming back to, each one written out on its own page.
Short and sharp. Where next-generation thinking gets tested in the open, met where the culture already is.
@CollaborateKing ↗The future of work, world models, and human-first AI, written for the people actually building it.
in/brandonklein ↗The human side. Family, and what a human-first life looks like in practice.
@ai_dad_3 ↗Inspiring a better way to work. Now with robots too.
For thirty years I have helped leaders make real change happen, across government, health systems, and the Fortune 100. Now I do it with AI agents and world models, on twenty years of my own data, and I teach the next generation to do the same.
