This is the #1 request we get every week: how to actually use agents to save time in your business. We’re bringing in James McAulay, founder of The Agent Accelerator, for a practical crash course on what AI agents are, how they work, and how beginners can start using them to get real work done. James has spent the past year building at the front lines of the agent economy. After helping ElevenLabs grow from $110M to more than $300M in annual recurring revenue, he launched a fully AI-native business that reached $80K in monthly revenue by its third month and recorded its first $200K+ month by month five. He did it without a single employee or a dollar spent on paid ads. Instead, James delegates work to multiple AI agents every day. Through The Agent Accelerator, James now teaches founders, CEOs, and their teams how to become AI-native. The program has trained more than 400 people across 100 companies, including startups, 200-person organizations, and the UK Government. Participants report automating an average of five hours of manual work every week after four weeks.
