Field notes
Mike opens the workshop: the problem, the build, the wrong turns, and the moment an agent makes ordinary life feel newly possible.
A new podcast by Mike Sego
ThisAgenticLife
Stories from the leisure frontier.
Most shows ask how AI helps us work. This one asks what becomes possible when it helps us live—with more joy, creativity, generosity, and wonderfully weird ideas.
The first stories are being made now.
Human storiesAgentic possibilities
The premise
The future isn’t only more output.
It’s more life.
AI is usually framed as a race to do more. This Agentic Life follows a different signal: people using agents to clear away friction and make space for what matters.
Not a productivity show in leisure clothing. A story-driven look at what humans create when technology gives some time, attention, and possibility back.
The shape of the show
One feed. Three ways in.
Personal experiments, intimate conversations, and formats that could only exist now.
02
Frontier conversations
Candid stories from people already using AI to create more room for family, generosity, curiosity, and play.
03
Agents on air
AI characters, voices, and collaborators become part of the storytelling—not as a gimmick, but as a new creative medium.
“What will you do with the time the machine gives back?”
The territory
What we’re looking for
The projects can be tiny or audacious. The important part is what they make possible for people.
Delight made tangible
Gifts and experiences that could not have existed before generative AI.
Time returned to people
The mundane work disappears; the human part gets bigger.
Everyday life, remixed
Small automations that make a home, friendship, or community feel more magical.
