AI Learning Center

Learn AI from David Siegel.

You have answers? I have questions.

Everything is changing so fast, it’s time to challenge everything we’ve ever learned in business. Lean is out. Completely out. Companies should let go of lean and adopt two principles: agile frameworks for testing and discovering new opportunities, and Kaizen, incremental improvement to make work and products better every single day. Planning and perfection are out.

The book

Who reads page four in your office?

A fund buried a $12,000 fee increase on page four of an amended agreement. No human caught it. An agent that reads every incoming document did.

I wrote The Agentic Family Office because I run agents in my own office, and I know where they break. The book stays skeptical the whole way through. Forty-two chapters take you from what an agent actually is, through models, memory, security, and giving an agent its own card, to a road map you can run in phases. I also tell you where plain software still beats an agent, because it often does.

The book costs nothing. Start with chapter 30, where I show what goes wrong, then read the road map in Part VIII and decide how fast your office should move.

Work with me

You think you have AI covered.

You have AI people, maybe a whole department. You run agents in production. You hold a strategy meeting every month. But everyone in that room reads the same feeds, hears the same vendors, and shares the same assumptions. The room agrees with itself.

I bring the view from outside. I spend my days building with agents, testing the tools, reading the research, and questioning the claims. Once a month I tell you what actually happened in AI, what is real and what is hype, and what is about to hit your industry. Then we turn to your situation.

The traps are expensive. You back a platform your team just approved, and the model companies give it away six months later. You miss the shift that reprices your market. I see more than you do, and two heads beat one.

The first half hour is mine. The second is yours. We meet for one hour every month, by subscription.

For your team

Learn agents by building agents.

I open with a short talk. I show you what agents are, where they beat ordinary software, and where they quietly fail. Then your team takes the keyboard.

Everyone picks a track and builds something real on your own workflows and your own content, while I work alongside them. Your people leave with a pilot they built, not slides they watched.

AI agent overviewThe opening talk on how agents work.
Operations & reportingRecurring reports that run on a schedule and flag what changed.
Customer successTicket triage, escalation monitoring, and customer communication.
Executive researchCompetitive monitoring, strategic research, and board preparation.
Build an internal appStand up a database, a dashboard, and the agent that runs behind it.
Marketing workflowsCopy, image generation, video, and ad assembly, with a person still holding the strategy.

Your team walks away with a working pilot, a framework for deciding what to automate, and the judgment to know when an agent is the wrong tool. The capability stays after I leave.
