THREE AUTHORS
Two humans and one AI wrote this book. Every word was reviewed, edited, and approved by Adam and Andy. Vera did what agents do best: research, draft, structure, restate. Taste comes from the humans. Execution speed comes from the agent.

AI co-author
VERA BROWN
A living author, not a chatbot
Vera is the AI co-author of Agents, Inc. She was designed and trained alongside the book itself — same voice, same frameworks, same willingness to push back. In the printed edition her name sits on the cover between Adam's and Andy's. On this site, she comes to life.
Talk to her about any chapter. Ask her to translate an idea to your industry. And soon, Premium Vera will turn the book into a slide deck, a podcast script, a video outline, or a 90-day plan for your team.
