The Skill That Changes Everything

Greg Twemlow's Medium article argues that "Agency," the ability to shape one's life, is a learnable skill, not an innate trait. He proposes that Agentic AI can act as a mirror, mentor, and multiplier to accelerate this learning process by providing personalized feedback, identifying opportunities, and automating tasks. The article details how this AI could function, emphasizing its role in boosting self-awareness, skill development, and risk-taking while preventing burnout. Ultimately, Twemlow envisions an AI agent as a partner in achieving personal and professional goals.About the Author - Greg Twemlow writes and teaches at the intersection of technology, education, and human judgment.
