Shownotes
Alessio Fanelli, founder of Kernel Labs and co-host of Latent Space podcast, walks us through two very different AI workflows: (1) a fully autonomous coding setup using OpenAI Symphony + Linear, where Linear acts as a state machine and Symphony manages agents through the whole dev lifecycle with zero babysitting; (2) Codex with browser access searching eBay for underpriced Pokémon cards—autonomously browsing, extracting PSA certificate numbers, and flagging deals on $10K–$20K cards for his San Carlos card shop, Merlin Games.
What you’ll learn:
• Why “agent manager” is a better mental model than “agent prompter”
• Why local Mac Minis don’t scale, and what a cloud VPS unlocks
• How to wire Symphony and Linear together as an agent state machine
• How to track token costs per task (and what 221 million tokens buys you)
• What Glimpse does, and why better agent senses extend autonomous runs
• Why your CLAUDE.md probably needs a full purge, not more instructions
• How Codex scouts underpriced $10K Pokémon cards on eBay at scale
• The new category of small business that AI just made possible
