Building Our AI Operating System

Drop everything you’re doing because this is the most important post I’ve written this year, potentially since I started this newsletter.

Today, you are going to “feel the AI” in a way you’ve probably never had by putting the first stones in your first true AI personal operating system, one that lets you automate your life one English word at a time.

Finally, 7 months after we first talked about it, AIs are evolving into their trillion-dollar form: operating systems, but ones that can be talked to.

That is, a virtual computer sitting on top of your own computer, one you’ll control using your preferred natural language.

Among other things, today you’ll learn:

Why the time is now to start building your operating system,

Why this is not just another workflow automation builder, but a truly agentic system where the AI is in full command. If you need something, instead of building it, just ask for it.

What is the digital architecture of the future, including all the key components. You will build: An email management tool that allow your AI operating system agent to read, write, and move emails all via plain English instructions (i.e., read my email inbox, order it, and send me a voice summary)

A simple trick to create a single source of memory for all models you use, so that, independently of what AI you’re using, from OpenAI to Claude, it knows the key things it has to know about you.

Your first agent workforce. That is, you will learn how you can create out-of-the-box agents just using the power of the English language. In the AI age, everyone has to be an AI manager, and you can train and update them without any technical expertise.

From here on, you put your limits on what you can make these agents do for you. I know, that’s a lot of hype for someone who claims to fight the hype. But that’s the point, for once, I’m that hyped about something.

Let’s build our first AI-led operating system.

Why the time is now

I’ve been calling for the arrival of agents this entire year. They are coming, right? The reality is that what most people, including myself, had not yet realized is that they are here already.

Just met a founder who fired his entire team because he was able to individually beat their productivity with Claude Code — Alex Reibman 🖇️ (@AlexReibman) 5:32 AM • Aug 3, 2025

It’s not a coding tool, it’s a supercharged agent. An operating system.

‘Agents are coming’ was something I already told you when OpenAI released the Deep Research API to access their deep research agents, calling them the “best agents on the planet.”

I was not wrong, but I mistakenly assumed I would have to build the entire agentic scaffold on top of it. I thought we finally had the AI, but I also thought I would have to build…
