Most people have used ChatGPT. The real step forward is agentic AI: systems that don't just answer questions, but plan, follow guardrails, use tools and finish multi-step tasks. Think of it as a small, reliable team you can delegate to.
That was the focus of our tenth GOAB Startup Mastery Series session and third AI Show and Tell.
The demo: an AI Dream Team
Kyle Naranjo, Data Engineering Consultant at Thinking Machines Data Science, walked through how he gets consistent outcomes from AI using a harness: the "manager" system that
- coordinates subagents,
- enforces clear rules and guardrails, and
- activates the right skills and tools at the right time.
The payoff is AI that handles real workflows (drafting, summarizing, organizing, triaging and follow-ups) while staying aligned to your standards. Less back-and-forth, less busywork, faster execution, without losing control.

Who it was for
Founders and owners automating business workflows, builders who wanted a no-slides look at a real AI workflow, and the AI-curious ready to see what comes after the chat box. We also shared a plain-English guide so everyone could follow along.
Organized by the GOAB Beach Club and Bayanihan Ventures, curated by Nikhil Antao, Liam James Mendoza and the Bayanihan Ventures team.
