He shared three prompts to get started:<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">&#8220;Tell me how to be an expert at creating agents for small businesses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">&#8220;Create study guides that ask me questions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">&#8220;Correct me and adapt to my knowledge level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So we tried Cuban&#8217;s prompts in Claude<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Claude responded with a list of business problems to target and tools to build them. The response prioritizes cost savings and automation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">First, it zeroes in on unglamorous tasks that businesses already struggle to keep up with, like answering routine customer questions, scheduling appointments, and <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/solopreneur-ai-agents-dont-need-to-hire-staff-2026-2?utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=yahoocom\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:chasing down invoices;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;chasing down invoices&quot;}\">chasing down invoices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">It then outlines a basic technical stack to work with. That includes orchestration tools like LangGraph, CrewAI, and AutoGen for managing multi-step tasks, as well as different AI models depending on the job. More advanced models are suggested for complex reasoning, while cheaper, faster models are recommended for high-volume tasks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Finally, it suggests a learning path: build several agents, study documentation from major AI providers, and focus on a small number of industries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Claude specifically pointed to restaurants, real estate, and e-commerce businesses as potential areas for AI improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Where Cuban sees the opportunity<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Cuban has been hammering his optimism about opportunities in a world with AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">In an August TBPN interview that&#8217;s now making the rounds on X, he said companies are still figuring out how to use AI effectively \u2014 and that&#8217;s created an opening for young job seekers, especially in smaller businesses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">&#8220;There are going to be integrators, particularly young kids,&#8221; he said in the interview. &#8220;Learn all you can about AI, but learn more on how to implement them in companies. Because, to your point, companies don&#8217;t understand how to implement all that right now to get a competitive advantage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">That optimism is colliding with some practical constraints. Right now, companies are grappling with how to pay for their AI usage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">And experimentation is getting expensive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">On LinkedIn, Swan AI&#8217;s CEO reported a <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/startup-ceo-monthly-ai-bill-anthropic-swan-2026-4?utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=yahoocom\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:six-figure monthly bill;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;six-figure monthly bill&quot;}\">six-figure monthly bill<\/a> for AI spending.

Tasks that once took days are now compressed into minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Cuban has acknowledged the pace of change. In the TBPN interview, he said AI&#8217;s impact &#8220;blows them all away&#8221; compared to past tech shifts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Even so, his view is grounded in adaptation and not replacement.
