Episode Description

Today’s Episode

As an AI PM, you’re probably tired of building AI Agents and don’t know how to monetize them.

But what if I told you there’s a company adding $1 million ARR every 10 days with their AI agent?

Zach Lloyd, CEO of Warp and former Google engineering leader, cracked the code. His terminal-based AI agent has 700,000+ active developers paying real money.

This episode is his complete playbook for AI PMs who want to build agents that actually make money.

I hope you enjoy this one!
