There's a question you've answered a hundred times before. You know the one. Someone pings you, you stop what you're doing, dig through a document or two, and type out the same response you've typed a dozen times this month. It doesn't feel catastrophic in the moment, but across a week it quietly eats hours. 

A knowledge agent is built for exactly this problem. It holds the information so you don't have to be the one constantly retrieving it. 

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I unpack what a knowledge agent is, how it works, and how to build one that actually saves you time, whether you're fielding questions solo or trying to help a whole team self-serve. 

How I AI is a special series within How I Work where Neo and I explore how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better decisions and reduce overwhelm. 

What you'll learn: 

• What a knowledge agent actually is and how it differs from other agents 

• The kinds of questions and roles that benefit most from one 

• How to share a knowledge agent across a team without creating problems 

• What makes knowledge good (or bad) for an agent to work from 

• The three things you need to set up a knowledge agent properly 

• Practical AI tools for productivity and focus 

• Real-world AI workflows used by high performers 

• How to use AI at work without burning out 

• Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load
