Live online seminar · Last Monday of every month
YOUR TICKET IS YOUR VOTE
Three topics on the ballot: AI video, agent orchestration, team operations. Every $50 seat is one vote. The winning topic gets the full live session on September 28, with real work done on screen and a human reviewing every important decision.
The full replay is included if you cannot make it live. Votes close Thursday, September 24 at 12:00 PM ET.
Powered bystripeLast month the room watched an app get built live. This month the room picks what the whole session is about. Choose a topic at checkout, watch the live tally, and the winner becomes the September session: taught live with real work on screen, not slides.
THE ROOM PICKS THE TOPIC. THE FORMAT STAYS HONEST.
Whichever topic wins, the format is the same as every Future Proof Seminar: real work done live on screen, agents doing the execution, a human reviewing every important decision, and an extended Q&A with someone who does this for a living. No slides, no staged demo. You are not paying to watch your favourite win. You are getting a session built around what the room most wants to learn.
THREE TOPICS. ONE SESSION.
The winning topic gets the full 90 minutes. Pick the one you would most want to sit through with a notebook open. The tally below updates as seats are reserved.
AI VIDEOLeadingThe room chose this
Make finished video with AI: ads, explainers, social clips, from a script to a cut you can publish.
- Write, voice, and assemble a video with agents, start to finish, live
- Which tools are worth paying for right now and which are toys
- How to keep your face, your voice, and your brand under your control
AGENT ORCHESTRATIONLeadingThe room chose this
Run several AI agents on one job at once, the way August's live app build did, and review what they hand back.
- Turn a rough idea into a written plan agents can act on
- Split the work across multiple agents and watch them run in parallel
- Check what they claim they finished before anything ships
TEAM OPERATIONSLeadingThe room chose this
Put AI inside the way your team actually works: onboarding, reporting, meetings, handoffs, so your best people stay in their zone of genius.
- Meeting notes that become tasks, owners, and deadlines without a human typing them
- The weekly report that writes itself and waits for your approval
- Where a human must stay in the loop, and where they honestly should not
No votes yet. The first seat sets the early lead.
- One seat, one vote. You choose at checkout. No purchase, no ballot: the vote belongs to the people who will be in the room.
- Votes close Thursday, September 24 at 12:00 PM ET. That gives us the weekend to prepare the winning topic and confirm the guest.
- A tie is settled at the close. Mike picks between the tied topics on September 24 and announces it together with the guest.
- Seats bought after the close still count. You get the winning topic's live session, the extended Q&A, and the full replay. You just do not get a ballot.
- Runners-up come back. The two topics that do not win go on next month's ballot.

THINK. CREATE. ITERATE.
AI builds go wrong when important decisions stay vague. The answer is not a longer prompt. It is three phases, and you stay in charge of two of them. Whichever topic wins, the session runs on this loop.
THINK
The agent interviews you, one question at a time, until every meaningful decision is out of your head: audience, purpose, features, boundaries, priorities. Those answers become a written build plan with acceptance checks, so nothing is left to guesswork. This is the part almost everyone skips, and it is the reason their builds fall apart.
CREATE
The harness reads that plan and puts multiple agents to work at once, each on a separate piece. This is the part you do not have to do. You watch the build happen instead of typing it.
ITERATE
You review what came back, say what is wrong, and send it straight back in. That loop takes minutes, so you steer the build while it is still moving. Nothing ships just because an agent says it is finished.
THE OLD WAY VS THE NEW WAY
The work itself did not get easier. What changed is how fast you find out you were wrong, and how little it costs to fix it.
THE TOPIC CHANGES. THE LOOP DOES NOT.
Think, create, iterate is not a video method, an orchestration method, or an operations method. It is how you get anything out of your head and into the world with agents doing the execution. Watch the room's choice worked live and you will know how to run the same loop on the two topics that lost, and on the idea that has been sitting in your notes app.
MEET JAMES
HE USED THIS PROCESS TO BUILD FIGHT TYPE 1
James understood the problem because he already served a community of athletes living with Type 1 diabetes. What he did not have was a traditional development team.
Fight Type 1 coach dashboard. The screen uses a demo client and sample data. It demonstrates the working application, not a medical outcome.
James used this exact process of questions, blueprint, and multiple agents to turn his knowledge and his community's needs into a deployed coaching app.
Coaches can manage clients, organize workouts, keep athlete information together, and view relevant diabetes data from one dashboard.
It did not begin with James writing code or handing a vague idea to a chatbot. It began with decisions. Those decisions became the blueprint. Multiple agents divided the build. James remained responsible for what the product needed to do.
MORE THAN ONE AGENT. ONE HUMAN IN CONTROL.
The live agent count depends on the topic the room picks. The point is not the number. The point is that separate agents can work on separate tasks while one person keeps the blueprint, quality, and final decisions aligned.
In this captured example, five agents ran in parallel. The September session may use a different number because the work determines the team.
YOU WILL SEE WHAT WORKS, AND WHAT NEEDS A HUMAN.
A live build is useful because it is not perfect. The mistakes show you where judgment matters.
MIKE HOSTS. THE GUEST FITS THE TOPIC.
Mike hosts every session and asks the questions you would ask. The guest expert is matched to the winning topic and announced when voting closes on September 24. The bar is the same every month: someone who does the work for a living and shows it live, with nothing edited out. They stay afterward for an extended Q&A, and you can ask them anything.
MIKE VINEYARD
Founder, Future Proof Founders · Your host
Mike has been building with AI since the GPT-3 beta in 2020. Before that, he worked in cybersecurity across government and banking, where trusting an unchecked system was never acceptable. The goal is not to make agents look magical. It is to show founders how to use them without giving up judgment, security, or control.
NG
NICOLAS GATES
Co-Founder, Rank · Senior developer · August's guest
Nick ran August's live app build from a blank page to a working first version. He builds and advises businesses across technology, trading, and finance. As Co-Founder of Rank he has done everything from writing code and designing infrastructure to raising capital, growing teams, and leading product. Today he focuses on product strategy, building tools that help professional traders and investors make better decisions through transparency and automation.
Before Rank he ran a product agency that designed and built dozens of MVPs for startups across a wide range of industries. And he has been working with language models since the GPT-2 era, years before generative AI went mainstream.
That is the standard for September's guest, whichever topic wins. Bring your product, your team, or the thing an AI produced that you are not sure is sound, and get a straight answer live from someone who does the work, not from a chatbot.
WHAT YOU LEAVE KNOWING HOW TO DO
The value is not memorizing prompts. It is leaving with a process you can run on your own work on Tuesday, whichever topic wins.
Know which questions remove ambiguity before the AI does any work.
Decisions, boundaries, and acceptance checks, whether the output is a video, an app, or a weekly report.
The guest names what they actually use for the winning topic, and what they stopped using.
Use checks, comparisons, and plain judgment before anything ships or sends.
The room's pick gives everyone a concrete session. The method belongs to every attendee.
THE SPEAK FLUENT AGENT GLOSSARY
Seven useful equations and 30 agent terms translated into plain founder English. Download it from the confirmation page and arrive at the seminar already speaking the language.
WHAT FOUNDERS SAY AFTER SEEING THIS WORK
“Before this? I'd refresh Ads Manager and my CRM about 300 times a day. Now with the MCP and some really deep instructions, maybe 1 or 2 times a day. And 100% of the time it's just to confirm what the agent said it did is actually verified.”

BEFORE YOU RESERVE
What exactly am I voting on?
The topic of the September session. Three are on the ballot: AI video, agent orchestration, and team operations. You pick one at checkout. The topic with the most paid seats when voting closes gets the full 90 minutes.
What if my topic does not win?
You still get a live, hands-on session with the same think, create, iterate loop underneath it, and you can bring questions about your own topic to the Q&A. The two runners-up go on next month's ballot.
Can I vote without buying a seat?
No. The seat is the ballot. That keeps the decision with the people who will actually be in the room on the day, rather than with whoever shares a poll the widest.
When does voting close?
Thursday, September 24 at 12:00 PM Eastern, which is 9:00 AM Pacific, 6:00 PM in Warsaw, and 11:00 PM in Bangkok. We need the weekend to prepare the winning topic and confirm the guest. Seats reserved after that still include the live session and replay, without a vote.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. None of the three topics requires code to follow. Agent orchestration comes closest, and August's attendees followed a full live app build without writing a line.
Who answers the technical questions?
The guest expert for the winning topic, announced when voting closes, plus Mike, who hosts and moderates. Ask about your own product, your team, or whether what an AI produced is sound. The answers come from someone who does the work for a living.
What time is it where I am?
We meet on the last Monday of every month. The next live online seminar runs Monday September 28 at 12:00 PM New York time, which is 9:00 AM on the US west coast, 5:00 PM in London, 6:00 PM in Warsaw and most of continental Europe, and 11:00 PM in Bangkok. Your confirmation email includes a calendar file that converts to your own timezone automatically.
What if I cannot attend live?
Your seat includes the full replay. Your vote counts whether or not you attend. The open questions happen live, but the complete session and the guest's commentary remain available in the recording.
What do I receive immediately?
Your confirmation page and email include the Speak Fluent Agent glossary, a calendar file for the live session, and a link back to the live tally so you can watch your pick climb.
Your idea does not need another month in your notes app
PICK THE TOPIC. WATCH IT HAPPEN.
Reserve a seat, cast your vote, and get a session built around what you actually want to learn, with real work on screen and a human still responsible for what ships.
