How I AI

Confidence 0.85 · 6 sources · last confirmed 2026-08-31

A practitioner podcast / YouTube channel hosted by Claire Vo (howiaipod.com, produced by penname.co) that demonstrates concrete AI workflows for product and engineering audiences. Episodes lean toward worked examples and live builds rather than abstract commentary — the show’s value to the wiki is the product-leader / non-engineer altitude on patterns the engineer-altitude sources document in more technical terms.

The wiki sources from How I AI span its range: a guest worked-example (Marily Nika on the AI-enhanced PM toolkit), a host explainer (Vo on agent loops), a technical guest deep-dive (Brian Grinstead on Mozilla’s agentic security-bug harness), two host and guest builds on agent fleets and PR review (Vo’s Merge Mommy; Ryan Carson’s 15 concurrent agents), and a personal-infrastructure demo (Daniel Blum on the Cowork system running most of his workday). All translate engineer practice — vibe-coding tools, agent harnesses, self-prompting loops — into legible framings (PRD-as-input; loops as designing jobs; harness-as-simple-wrapper).

Distribution and catalogue

The show is hosted by ChatPRD and distributed on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, with written companions published on Lenny’s Newsletter — the 2026 episodes ingested here appeared on both surfaces the same week, which resolves the open question below in favour of a real distribution relationship. An episode-index snapshot is held at raw/articles/2026-08-30-chatprd-how-i-ai-episode-index.md (captured 30 Aug 2026).

Note a dating discrepancy worth remembering when citing episodes: the ChatPRD index dates the Carson episode 20 August 2026 and titles it “How Ryan Carson Manages 40 PRs a Day with Devin and Codex”, while the YouTube release is dated 24 August 2026 and titled “How I manage 15 AI agents 24/7 as a solo founder.” Same episode, two titles, four days apart. The wiki uses the YouTube publish date and title.

Open questions

• Whether the newsletter relationship is formal co-publication or syndication — the campaign tag lennys_howiai and the same-week dual release both point to a real arrangement, but no source states its shape.
