What you'll learn

Set up an AI assistant that earns your trust

Learn the progressive permission model: start small, expand access as trust builds—no all-or-nothing handoff.

Move from reactive prompting to proactive AI

Your assistant flags what matters, reminds you before you forget, and handles recurring tasks—unprompted.

Put your AI to work on real workflows

Watch an AI triage your Slack, draft your PRDs/documents, and surface action items—all using your real context.

Vibe-code your own tools and prototypes

Your assistant writes code, builds prototypes, and creates tools, integrating your building and PM work in one place.

Replace five AI tools with one assistant

One AI handles chat, coding, design, research, and scheduling—because five separate tools isn't a workflow.

Why this topic matters

The fervor around ClawdBot has been both inspiring (wow, the possibilities!) and disorienting (how do I set that up? Seems…dangerous). Meanwhile, expectations keep rising—so ignoring AI superpowers is precarious too. Using Vellum as an exemplar, we'll show you what a secure AI assistant looks like and what it can do for you concretely as it learns your context and gradually earns your trust.
