Build the next Billion $ Agent 🚀
Introduction to Vertical Agents 00:03
- The video discusses building a "cursor for X" software, a type of vertical agent for specific tasks.
- Vertical AI software is expected to capture significant value by 2025, with AI coding being the first successful use case.
- There is potential for various vertical agents, such as those for spreadsheets, design, and video editing.
Building a Cursor for X 01:04
- To create a cursor software, an agent needs access to various tools for completing tasks.
- A specialized playground or canvas is required for users to track and review the agent's work.
- Examples of existing tools include cursor for coding and UI generation platforms like Google Stitchy.
Free Resource for Solopreneurs 02:17
- A free resource, "How to Build an AI Startup in Three Hours with Less than $500" by Greg Eisenberg, is recommended for aspiring solopreneurs.
- This resource provides a five-step framework for using AI agents to build products quickly and effectively.
Overview of Vercel AI SDK 03:31
- The tutorial focuses on using Vercel AI SDK to build the agentic system.

Streaming Results Back to Frontend 15:01
- Techniques for merging multiple data streams and pushing custom data to the frontend are discussed.
- The video provides a demonstration of generating a PRD (Product Requirements Document) and streaming results.
Creating a Playground for Collaboration 17:22
- A UI component for a playground is introduced, allowing users to review and collaborate with the agent.
- The importance of state management for maintaining a responsive user experience is emphasized.
Final Integration and Structure 18:45
- The video explains how to structure the application for better maintainability and user interaction.
- A split view layout is created, combining the chat interface and the content display for generated documents.
Conclusion and Further Learning 21:07
- The video concludes by inviting viewers to join the AI Builder Club for deeper learning about building AI applications.
- Future content will include connecting to a backend and setting up user authentication.
