    The Operator's Roadmap for AI in 2026 - Lily Luo

    Justin and Lily reflect on their parallel journeys diving deep into AI throughout 2025. They discuss why most AI content misses the mark for operators and system builders working within corporate constraints, share lessons from building production AI tools, and explore what's next for bringing these capabilities into the enterprise. Guest: Lily Luo — Systems & Operations Leader, Author of Applied AI for MOps Substack Read more of Justin's thoughts on AI Builders: The operator's roadmap for AI in 2026 KEY TOPICS The Gap in AI Content Most resources target researchers or GTM engineers focused on outbound automation. There's little guidance for operators dealing with cloud tools, security, and corporate complexity. That creates an opportunity to define best practices for this underserved audience. 2025 Project Highlights Lily built an "Analysis Dossier" tool that generates full account research reports at the click of a button. Justin replaced a vendor intelligence tool with a custom system using Retool and a conversational agent. Lessons Learned Start with tightly scoped AI steps in linear workflows for reliability. Pre-process insights asynchronously rather than relying on real-time agent calculations. Match tools to use cases. Failures teach more than successes. Atlas: Lily's Autonomous Agent Runs on Google Cloud and wakes every 4 hours to research and progress projects. Uses a three-layer memory architecture: identity, temporal journal, and knowledge graph. Can push its own code and interact with other agents. 2026 Outlook Focus on scalability, reduced hallucination, and team enablement. Build infrastructure that unlocks flexible, ad-hoc use cases. Bridge the gap between AI capabilities and enterprise readiness. The Human Side Working closely with AI changes how you think. Boundaries matter—don't let AI become a crutch. RESOURCES Applied AI for MOps — Lily's SubstackAI Builders Blog — Justin's SubstackTools mentioned: Claude Code, Gemini, ChatGPT, Zapier, Retool, Dust, Azure AI Foundry, Letta, VS Code ONE TIP FOR GETTING STARTED Pick a real pain point. Start with low-code tools you already know. Test relentlessly. Expect to fail—and learn from it.

    How AI Agents Really Work - Daniel Vassilev

    AI agents are everywhere in conversation right now—but what actually makes them work? It’s not just slapping a large language model into a workflow and calling it a day. Under the hood, real agentic systems operate differently. They make decisions. They adapt. They break out of rigid if-this-then-that logic and enter something closer to human judgment. In this episode, I talk with Daniel Vassilev, co-founder of Relevance AI, a platform purpose-built for building and deploying true agents. We dig deep into how agentic systems are structured—from core instructions to tool orchestration—and how that foundation changes what’s possible. Daniel explains the difference between automation and autonomy in clear, practical terms that any builder, founder, or operator can understand. We also explore real-world use cases: where agents shine today, where they fall short, and how teams are already using them to 10x output without ballooning headcount. Whether you’re dabbling in LLM workflows or ready to rethink how your company works entirely, this conversation will level up your mental model. If you’ve been wondering where the hype ends and the real architecture begins—this is the episode. About Today's Guest Daniel Vassilev is Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Relevance AI, a platform to develop commercial-grade multi-agent systems to power your business. With a background in software engineering, he previously created, grew and monetised two apps to a combined 7 million users, reaching #1 on the App Store top free. Key Topics[00:00] - Introduction[01:31] - Defining agentic AI[03:28] - AI in linear workflows vs. agentic systems[08:19] - How agents work under the hood[11:24] - Always-on agents[13:43] - Selecting the right tasks for agentic AI[17:42] - Copilot vs. Autopilot [22:44] - Are there tasks we should never delegate to AI?

    Why ABM Doesn’t Work (and How to Fix It) - Andrei Zinkevich

    At a recent event with about 300 attendees, today's guest polled the audience and asked how they felt about their ABM performance. 98.5% said they weren't satisfied. If you've ever built an ABM program, this statistic may not surprise you. My observation is that there are few motions where the hype and the reality are so far apart. Why is that? What are people getting wrong about ABM? And how do you make it work? Andrei Zinkevich provides some very concrete and detailed answers to these questions in today's episode. You'll learn why ABM is more than the typical "display ad + email" recipe that many companies use, why true ABM really doesn't scale in a conventional sense, why you don't need expensive software, and why the most important personalization data comes from the company's own buyers.

    Building a Composable Tech Stack for Outbound and ABM - Justin guests on "RevOps Lab"

    One of the most interesting projects I worked on recently was a rebuild of our ABM / outbound / buying signal tech stack at my day job.  I had bought one of the big legacy ABM platforms a few years ago but had never really seen the value we were hoping for, at least not enough to justify the cost.  And meanwhile, there’s been this explosion of new vendors in the outbound space—tracking signals, aggregating signals, powering sales workflows, enrichment, AI SDR assistants, and the list goes on.  I did a really deep evaluation to understand the landscape, and just as I wrapped that up, I sat down with Janis and Philipp who host the RevOps Lab podcast by Weflow. We had a great discussion and really went into the details on this topic. If you’re thinking about changing up your ABM tech or just want to get oriented on what’s going on here, this is a great episode for you.  Hope you enjoy it, and check out more episodes from RevOps Lab here: https://www.getweflow.com/revops-lab -------- Justin Norris, Senior Director of Marketing Ops at 360 Learning and host of the RevOps FM podcast, joins us to dive into outbound strategies and the evolving role of AI in sales. Justin shares his approach to outbound, focusing on experimentation, signals, and leveraging technology to make outbound motions more effective. He also discusses the importance of flexibility in trying new outbound approaches and creating a system where teams can experiment and learn what works best. We cover:The shift from traditional outbound methods to AI-driven strategiesHow signals play a critical role in outbound successThe importance of flexibility and experimentation in outboundUsing tools like MadKudu to streamline outbound workflowsAI’s role in the future of outbound and sales engagement Chapters:[00:00] Introduction[01:17] Justin’s Background and Journey in RevOps[03:59] Outbound in the Modern Sales Environment[07:31] Signals and AI in Outbound Strategy[14:39] Building Flexibility into Outbound Motions[19:06] The Future of AI and Sales Engagement[24:00] Experimentation and Learning in Outbound[35:30] Final Thoughts and Advice -------- Thanks to Our SponsorMany thanks to the sponsor of this episode - Knak.
