Amit Rawal

Chief

Instructor for CHIEF’s AI-Powered Executive Toolkit, a 3-part leadership accelerator built to help senior women executives harness AI as a force multiplier for decision-making, storytelling, and change leadership.

Each session blends strategic coaching, real-time GPT tools, and live simulation labs, focused on amplifying executive clarity, communication, and influence through applied AI.

The 3-course arc:

⨠ Smart Decisions, Faster
How to build a personal “Decision OS” using mental models + Decision GPT, so they can act decisively under pressure without second-guessing.

⨠ Storytelling That Sells
How to become magnetic communicators using a proven 4-part narrative arc and a Storytelling GPT that sharpens tone, adapts messaging, and simulates audience reactions.

⨠ Lead AI Change with Empathy & Authority
How to champion AI transformation inside orgs with credibility and care — using Change GPT to map resistance, segment stakeholders, and draft high-trust rollout narratives.

Why It Matters:
This isn’t about prompt tricks. It’s about giving non-technical but highly strategic leaders the mindset, tools, and confidence to integrate AI into how they think, communicate, and lead change.

I built this course to scale a new breed of AI-native leadership: empathetic, data-savvy, and future-ready.

Head of Product: Digital 360 - Global Analytics & Insights

Google just released a game-changing 54-page blueprint on AI agents, and it’s not what you think.

This isn’t about building smarter chatbots. 
It’s about creating complete autonomous systems that think, act, and evolve, what Google calls “LMs in a loop with tools to accomplish objectives.”

———
The document breaks down agents into three core components:

• The Model (the “Brain”) - for reasoning and decision-making
• Tools (the “Hands”) - for taking real-world actions
• Orchestration Layer (the “Nervous System”) - managing the Think → Act → Observe loop

Google maps out 5 levels of agentic evolution:

Level 0: Core reasoning (the model alone)
Level 1: Connected problem-solver (model + tools)
Level 2: Strategic planner (context engineering + multi-step plans)
Level 3: Multi-agent collaboration (teams of specialists)
Level 4: Self-evolving systems (agents that create new agents and tools)

The Game-Changer: Agent Ops
This is where it gets real. Traditional prompt engineering evolves into a full discipline:

• Metrics-driven development (business KPIs, not just pass/fail)
• LM-as-Judge for quality evaluation
• OpenTelemetry traces for debugging agent “thought processes”
• Human feedback loops that convert bug reports into permanent test cases

Enterprise-Grade Security:

Agents introduce a new security principal, not human users, not service accounts, but autonomous actors with their own identity (SPIFFE), policies, and least-privilege permissions.

Google’s already thinking ahead: 

Agent2Agent (A2A) protocols for inter-agent communication, Agent Payment Protocol (AP2) for autonomous transactions, and central governance layers to prevent “agent sprawl.”
———

As an AI leader, I think we’re not just adding AI features anymore. 

We’re building systems where context window curation becomes an art form, 
where agents manage other agents, 
and where the developer shifts from “bricklayer” to “director.”

That $200,000 Stanford AI degree just lost most of its value. (UPDATED LIST OF COURSES)

Not because the education got worse.

Because Stanford University just made their entire flagship AI and Machine Learning curriculum free on YouTube.

This is a game-changer for AI education.

Here’s what just became accessible to everyone:

These aren’t simplified versions. These are the exact courses Stanford students pay thousands for:

↳ CS230: Deep Learning | Autumn 2025
Link: https://lnkd.in/dQ-DHdsJ

↳ CS329H: Machine Learning from Human Preferences 
Link: https://lnkd.in/d_6GzDAr

↳ CS25: Transformers 
Link: https://lnkd.in/dbMtpim5

↳ CS231N: Deep Learning for Computer Vision | 2025
Link: https://lnkd.in/djXeGyse

↳ CME295: LLM Evaluation | Autumn 2025
Link: https://lnkd.in/dTPTwh_M

↳ CS336: Language Modeling from scratch | 2025
Link: https://lnkd.in/dthjnD7E

Let’s be honest about what just happened:
Stanford didn’t do this out of kindness.

They did it because the AI industry moved so fast that traditional degrees can’t keep up.

By the time you finish a 4-year program:
→ The tools have changed
→ The frameworks have evolved
→ The job requirements are different

The new reality:

AI careers aren’t built in classrooms anymore. They’re built in public.

→ Learn by building
→ Share what you create
→ Get hired for what you can do

So here’s my challenge:
• Pick ONE course from this list before Friday.
• Watch the first lecture this weekend.
• Build something small by next week.

Comment which course you chose. Make it public. Make yourself accountable.

I have read 20+ AI/ML books in last 5 years.
But these 9 books are the must-read ones in the list.

📌 The books:

1. AI Agents in Practice by Valentina Alto  
- Production-ready agent systems

2. AI Engineering by Chip Huyen  
- RAG, prompting, and LLM infrastructure

3. Mathematics of Machine Learning by Tivadar Danka  
- Great intuitions for the underlying math

4. Practical Statistics for Data Scientists by Bruce & Bruce
- A/B testing and data drift detection

5. Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann  
- Your model needs solid infrastructure

6. Python NLP Cookbook by Antic & Chakravarty
- Classical NLP techniques

7. NLP with Transformers by Tunstall, von Werra, Wolf
- What’s actually happening inside LLMs

8. Designing Machine Learning Systems by Chip Huyen  
- Getting models to production

9. ML System Design Interview by Aminian & Xu
- Scaling patterns from 1K to 100M users

📌 Why this list matters:

Most AI/ML content focuses on tutorials and toy examples. 

These books taught me how to actually ship systems that 
- handle real traffic, 
- real data problems, and 
- real business constraints.

📌 How to use this list:

Don’t read all 9 at once. Pick one based on your biggest pain point right now:

• Struggling with production? → Start with #8 (Designing ML Systems)
• Building LLM apps? → Go for #2 (AI Engineering)
• Math feels shaky? → Begin with #3 (Mathematics of ML)
• Agents confuse you? → Read #1 (AI Agents in Practice)

Build something after each book. That’s when concepts actually stick.

Save this list for when you’re ready to level up your ML skills.

And if you found this helpful, ♻️ share it with someone stuck in tutorial hell.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

10 steps. That’s all it takes to build an AI agent from scratch.

Here’s the roadmap I use every single time:

Step 1: Define the Agent’s Role and Goal
- Decide what your agent will do.
- Identify who it will help.
- Determine the kind of output it should create.
- Example: An assistant that reads medical images and explains findings.

Step 2: Design Structured Input & Output
- Plan exactly what data your agent will receive and return.
- Use clear, structured formats like forms or tables, avoid messy text.

Step 3: Prompt, Tune, and Define Agent Protocol
- Write clear instructions that describe the agent’s role.
- Adjust these prompts for consistent behavior.
- Define how inputs and outputs should flow for all tasks.

Step 4: Add Reasoning and Tool Use
- Allow your agent to think through steps logically.
- Let it use other tools like web search or calculators if needed.

Step 5: Structure Multi-Agent Logic (if needed)
- Break complex tasks into smaller ones handled by separate agents.
- For example, have one agent plan, another research, and another report.

Step 6: Add Memory and Long-Term Context
- Equip your agent to remember previous interactions and context.
- This helps it provide better, more personalized responses.

Step 7: Add Voice or Vision Capabilities (Optional)
- Let your agent talk or understand images if needed.

Step 8: Deliver the Output (in Human or Machine Format)
- Format the output so humans or other systems can understand it easily.
- Use markdown, PDFs, or structured data formats.

Step 9: Wrap in a UI or API (Optional)
- Create a simple interface (app or website) for people to use your agent.
- Or allow other software to interact with your agent via API.

Step 10: Evaluate and Monitor Your Agent’s Performance
- Test your agent regularly with different inputs.
- Track how well it performs and make improvements.

———

This roadmap guides you from the initial idea through development to deployment and refinement. 
It’s meant to be easy to follow, even if you’re new to building AI agents.

Steps 1-4 will get you 80% of the way there. 
The rest? That’s for making it production-ready.

Write ‘I will make AI Agents’ in comments if you’re going to start today with these steps.

How to build AI Agents from scratch

I tested 100+ AI prompts over 6 months. These 7 got flagged as “too effective.”

When I first started using AI, I kept wondering why the output felt generic, until I realised one simple truth:
AI performs at the level of the prompt you give it.

This carousel has 7 “banned” prompts, not because they’re harmful, but because they work too well.

They turn any AI tool into:
• a $10K/hour business consultant
• a world-class copywriter
• a skill coach compressing 10 years into 10 minutes
• a systems architect designing your workflow
• a transformation coach
• a reverse-engineering analyst
• a brilliant teacher who adapts to your level

These are the prompts I wish someone had shown me earlier.
They save time, remove guesswork, and help you get expert-quality output without hiring an expert.

Use them for strategy, writing, learning, productivity, or deep thinking.
Use them with any AI tool. Any goal. Any industry.

📌 Which “banned” prompt will you try first?

Save this carousel OR share with others. 

PS: Slide 9 is the nuclear option. Use it to make ANY prompt 10x better.

7 Banned Prompts 

You know what’s funny about this ‘Do nothing’ ad? 
It’s actually onto something big.
As an AI leader, I see how much these technologies are taking over everyday tasks. 
And honestly? That’s exactly the point. 
We’re building AI to handle the boring, repetitive stuff so humans can focus on what really matters.

This “Nothing University” campaign is hilarious, but it’s also smart. 
It’s asking a real question: if AI does all the work, what do we do? 
The answer isn’t actually “nothing”, it’s about doing things that make us human. 

Creativity, relationships, enjoying a good meal, spending time with loved ones. 
These are things AI can’t replace.

Maybe we’ve been so busy trying to be productive that we forgot how to just live. 
This ad reminds us that progress isn’t just about doing more, it’s about having the freedom to choose what matters to us. 

In the AI era, that might be the most valuable skill of all.

Top Reports on ROI of AI Agents 2025 

“When you think you’re done, you’re only at 40%.”
I read this line from David Goggins three years ago.

It rewired how I approach every hard thing.
Most people quit the moment it gets uncomfortable.
That’s exactly where growth starts.

Goggins calls it the 40% Rule: 
When your brain screams “I’m done,” you’ve barely scratched the surface of what you’re capable of.

Here’s what changed for me after applying his framework:
SUCCESS = Discipline × Pain × Consistency

Not motivation. Not inspiration. Not perfect conditions.

10 Key Takeaways That Hit Different:
1.    Callous Your Mind – Challenges are sandpaper. Let them toughen you.
2.   Mirror Test – Write down who you are vs. who you must become.
3.   The 40% Rule – When you feel done, you’ve got 60% left in the tank.
4.	Cookie Jar – Store memories of past wins. Reach for them when life punches hard.
5.	Embrace the Suck – Pain is a teacher. Discomfort builds dominance.
6.	No Talent Required – Let challenges toughen you, not break you.
7.	Stand Apart – Don’t aim to be better than others. Aim to be exceptional among the elite.
8.	Armor Your Mind – Use past trauma as training, not torment.
9.	Failure = Feedback – Each failure is a data point. Study it. Adjust. Attack again.
10.	Ask “What If?” – What if you went all in? What if you stopped quitting?

5 Mental Traps to Avoid:
❌ Chasing motivation 
✅ Build discipline instead

❌ Waiting for perfect conditions 
✅ Start ugly, refine later

❌ Seeking comfort 
✅ Choose hard on purpose

❌ Comparing your journey 
✅ Compete only with your last version

❌ Fearing failure 
✅ Treat it as a rep in the gym of life

The Goggins Mindset Loop:
→ Face It (tell yourself the truth)
→ Embrace It (lean into discomfort)
→ Push It (go past your limit)
→ Own It (reflect and repeat)

This book isn’t motivational. It’s operational.

It’s a manual for building mental armor when everything around you is trying to break you.
