How I AI: How to build a knowledge agent that answers every 101 question - so you don't have to

**Join the AI Agent Bootcamp here: https://www.inventium.ai/learnvirtually-agents**  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  Connect with Neo Aplin on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/neoaplin/) and via inventium.ai (https://inventium.ai), where he leads Inventium's AI training and upskilling work with organisations and teams.    My latest book The Energy Game is out on July 7, 2026.
