He told me that in a few months, people who don't use AI at all will get the same benefits as those who've spent two years figuring it out. So what's actually going to be your edge in a market this competitive? Thibault opened up and shared a few of his secrets — he showed me how his own agents work and how anyone can set them up. We covered the must-have files everyone should create, the one file you should never write yourself, and the new skill that replaces prompting entirely. If you work with a computer for a living, this is the one to watch this week. *Timestamps:* 00:00 — The change nobody is ready for 00:47 — How knowledge work changes tomorrow 03:00 — The agentic workflow breakthrough 04:18 — The must-have files everyone needs 05:54 — The one file you should NOT write yourself 07:08 — Use agents vs. don't — the productivity gap 07:50 — The trap of optimizing everything 11:47 — Vibe coding: when you still need an engineer 13:38 — The future of software engineering 15:07 — A workflow you should deploy today 16:30 — Live demo: agent runs my inbox + plans a trip 21:18 — "Where am I wasting my time?" 22:48 — What Thibault personally uses Codex for 24:53 — Live demo: agent pulls my LinkedIn analytics 25:55 — He quit his PhD after 2 weeks — would he do it today 27:48 — The "personal tailor" model of AI 29:04 — The real skill that replaces prompting *Links:* 📩 Follow my Newsletter: https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=Thibault-Sottiaux 🔗 My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/ 📌 My Companies & Products: https://Marinamogilko.co

Марина, ты могла бы поспрашивать побольше глубоких вопросов, тут парень практически на острие человеческого развития, ты спрашиваешь про вопросы о календаре. Позадавать вопросы как конкретно делать пронт, чтобы создать хороший код. Какие следующие обновления будут в ближайшие месяцы конкретно. Всё такое поверхностное было.

Magnificent! Don’t remember why I watched one of your videos at the first time but by now this channel has become the main source of upgrading my knowledge about AI and feeding my growing curiosity about the topic. You always make it really interesting. Thank you!!!

Been a senior programmer for years and using ChatGpt / codex since they were both released so have a tech understanding. A lot of people I meet say that AI doesnt do what you tell it all the time (as per the linked in initial pronpt output). What I've found useful is to assume that AI is autistic and reword your prompt around that notion. Love your videos by the way.

The interesting shift here isn’t just AI becoming more capable, but interfaces becoming more human. The advantage may no longer come from “being technical,” but from clarity of thinking, asking good questions, and knowing what outcomes actually matter
