Allie K. Miller, one of the most followed voices in the  AI  industry, says that “by the time you wake up, your AI should have already been working for you for hours.” Formerly the global head of machine learning for startups and venture capital at Amazon Web Services, Miller is among the busiest AI consultants and influencers in the industry, with more than 1.6 million followers on LinkedIn alone. Through her company Open Machine, she advises enterprises and business leaders—including those at OpenAI, Google, Anthropic , and Warner Bros. Discovery—on how to adopt AI . In 2025, Miller was named one of the 100 most influential people in AI by Time . In an interview with Inc., Miller says that nowadays, she largely works out of Claude Code , the agentic coding system developed by Anthropic . She keeps multiple instances of Claude Code running simultaneously in separate terminals. Because these Claude Code instances have access to Miller’s filesystem, they can autonomously complete work on her behalf. Miller teaches Claude Code how to complete workflows by using Skills, a feature that allows Claude Code to undertake and repeat multistep processes. Miller says that she’s developed automations that generate a report summarizing all of the urgent emails she’s received overnight and a daily morning briefing that runs through her entire calendar, recommending times to recharge.  “It’ll tell me, ‘You have four different interviews or six client meetings,’” explains Miller, “‘so I’ve gone ahead and blocked out 30 minutes tomorrow for deep work.’”  Another example: Every time Miller edits a social video of herself using CapCut, the TikTok -owned video editing app, she exports the video into a specific folder. Anytime a new file is added to that folder, an automation is triggered that automatically creates a transcript, a social post, and a screenshot for the video’s thumbnail.  In general, Miller says, the best way to identify AI solutions that work for your specific use case is to simply have the AI model of your choice interview you. Tell it to ask you questions about your work, making note of areas that you feel could be more efficient or smoother. Then, Miller says, prompt it again with “make these ideas more proactive, more responsibly autonomous, and more action-forward.” With just that prompt, she adds, you can get started developing your own AI solutions.  It’s not just workflows that Miller is automating. When developing a new post for her newsletter, Miller says that she runs drafts through eight “synthetic personas” that she’s developed, which represent the newsletter’s different audience demographics. “I’m not trying to appease all eight and write a happy-go-lucky version of the newsletter,” says Miller, “but I want to make sure I didn’t miss something important. I want to make sure that a parent reading [the newsletter] isn’t completely misunderstanding my take on something.”  Miller has a similar strategy when making big career decisions. She built a self-described “AI boardroom,” complete with six synthetic personas, which weigh in on major company issues. Miller swaps around which six personas sit on the board, depending on her needs. “If it’s a media question, maybe I’m running it through Shonda Rhimes,” she says, “or if it’s a business question, maybe I’m asking Jeff Bezos.” These personas give their initial opinions on the decision, and then they all begin debating with one another in a group chat. “I literally had Mickey Mouse arguing with Jensen Huang,” Miller adds. The point, Miller says, is to get the most out of the raw intelligence offered by today’s AI models. “Wouldn’t you love to walk into a room of 10 geniuses arguing over something that you’ve been struggling with, and all they want to do is help you get to the best possible outcome?” she says. “For those who have a growth  mindset  and thrive off of dynamic, changing, adaptable business settings, the multiagent world that we are walking into in 2026 is going to be world-changing.”  —Ben Sherry This article originally appeared on Fast Company ’s sister website, Inc.com.   Inc. is the voice of the American entrepreneur.
