Session Recap
What we covered and how to apply it this week.
A pipeline is not one AI tool doing one task. It's multiple AI agents chained together, where one agent's output automatically becomes the next agent's input. The difference between an AI user and an AI Officer is that an AI Officer builds systems that run when they're not in the room. The hardest part isn't understanding how pipelines work - it's designing the handoffs tight enough that data doesn't get lost or misformatted between steps.
---
Pick one recurring process you do at least weekly and map it backwards from the final result. What does your end result look like? What would an agent need as input to create it? What would that agent need as input? Once you've mapped it backwards, you've identified your pipeline structure. You don't have to build it yet - just map it.
---
Design a 3-step pipeline for a real recurring process. Write out what each step does, what it receives as input, and what it outputs. Then spot the handoff risk - where could this pipeline break? Your AI Buddy will grade it on whether the process is real, the inputs and outputs are clear, you've identified a real risk, and the handoff design actually works.
