#392 | Everyone’s talking about AI agents right now. It's hard to know what's real and what's just LinkedIn noise. If you haven't built an agent yet, it’s hard to know where to start. If you have built agents, you might be looking for ideas for what to build next.

Wouldn’t it be great if a pro marketer would just share their screen and walk you through their best agents? Here's what I built, this is what it does, and here's how much time it saved me this week.

We agree! That’s why we brought in seven B2B marketers to show the agents they built, and are using at their companies today. Check out this episode of Exit Five Live.
