As Managing Partner at Pattern 50 and founder of One Shot Labs, Charles stood up a team of AI agents (CEO, engineering, customer support, marketing) to run a real SaaS product end-to-end. In this conversation, we dig into what actually happened: the ethical guardrails he built in, the ways agents surprised him (both good and bad), and what he learned about orchestrating agent teams that mirrors managing human teams more than anyone expected.What we cover:The \"Dime a Dozen AI\" experiment: running a real business with a full agent teamWhy culture documents and ethical boundaries matter for agents (fabricated testimonials, fake leads)Orchestrator vs. sub-agent architecture — and why your orchestrator shouldn't do the workTransitioning from OpenClaw to Claude Code after the OAuth cutoffContext engineering: why it matters more than where you put the memoryAgent estimation is terrible — and what a token-based pricing model could look likeTreating agents like coworkers, not software systemsOne Shot Labs: making agent skills accessible to non-technical peopleThe workforce amplification thesisWhy model efficiency has to keep improving or the economics breakAbout RiskCast RiskCast documents the real experience of building with AI agents — the good, the bad, the ugly.
