AI is no longer just a chatbot that helps you write emails faster. In this episode of Beginner’s Guide to AI, Dietmar Fischer sits down with Ethan Ouyang to explore how agentic AI is changing the way businesses are built, managed, and scaled. Ethan is publicly identified with ATOMS, and the platform’s official site is atoms.dev, where it is described as a multi-agent AI workflow for building products without code. This conversation goes far beyond simple prompting. Ethan explains how AI agents can work together like a business team, handling research, planning, product creation, workflow automation, iteration, and even revenue optimization. The result is a shift from “vibe coding” to something much bigger: building real businesses with AI. You’ll hear: ✨ Why ChatGPT-level use cases are only the beginning ✨ How AI agents can support founders, solo operators, and managers ✨ Why judgment, taste, and domain knowledge still matter ✨ What it means to become an AI native company ✨ How leadership changes when your team includes AI workers ✨ Why custom AI tools may beat bloated SaaS products 📧💌📧 Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes, don't forget to subscribe to our Newsletter: beginnersguide.nl 📧💌📧 🎙️ About Dietmar Fischer Dietmar is a podcaster and AI marketer from Berlin.
