Becoming Agentic

A weekly briefing on building software with Agentic AI — from tools to mindset.

Software is evolving. Day by day, systems are “becoming agentic” — capable of acting, deciding, and collaborating without constant human input. This newsletter helps you keep pace with that transformation and harness it for your own projects.

After more than a decade building iOS applications, I left my stable role at Microsoft to dive headfirst into the startup world — building Agentic AI applications from the ground up. Along the way, I’ve had to learn and unlearn everything I knew about software. Agentic systems demand a mindset shift from the old, deterministic ways of building technology.

This is the place for you if:

• You’re an engineer ready to transition from traditional software to Agentic applications.

• You’re a leader aiming to bring Agentic systems into your organization.

• You’re an AI enthusiast determined to stay ahead of the latest innovations.
