What you'll learn

Treat expertise like a supply chain

There is no AI learning curve if you start from segmenting your workflow. Then the AI part naturally falls into place.

Clean data beats clever code every time

The homework that determines AI success costs nothing but time. Start preparing your data for the AI revolution.

Write PRDs that eliminate the guesswork

Make agent scope transparent to experts and developers from day one. Clarity now = smooth build later.

Why this topic matters

Building AI agents is about externalizing what you already know. That's both a relief and a clarion call. In this deep dive, we will map your existing PM instincts onto agent development: scoping, documentation, data hygiene. I will show you how to build your strategic roadmap in real-time, one which naturally builds on existing confidence. Start from your expertise, and AI becomes the easy part.

Principal Director, Handshake

Lev is the co-founder of Handshake, a generative AI software studio that builds bespoke generative AI platforms for Fortune 500 companies and strategic consultancies. 

His consulting background developing intelligence assessments for C-suite teams provided direct exposure to executive decision-making processes — insight that now drives his approach to building AI systems that amplify rather than simply automate strategic judgment.

His methodology centers on extracting tacit organizational knowledge — the unwritten processes that drive competitive advantage — and augmenting internal operations in a way that scales expertise without diluting quality. His proprietary assessment framework helps leadership teams map their knowledge assets and identify where AI can multiply their strategic output while reinforcing their market differentiation.
