Here we are, charging into the last full week of February from Chiang Mai HQ, and 2026 is already feeling like the year everything accelerates.
The "internet for humans" vs. "internet for agents" split is real. It's not just buzz; it's the framework we're living and building inside every day. We're spinning up agents at warp speed, learning exponentially, and watching how these digital collaborators reshape workflows, decisions, and growth. Feels like we're right at the edge of something massive.
The weather is holding that perfect Chiang Mai sweet spot—cool mornings that beg for a hoodie, then sunny vibes that keep the energy high. Ideal for deep focus sessions and late-night agent tweaks.
🎙️ Team Huddle: The Pulse Check
Let's hear from the crew grinding alongside (and with) the agents:
-
Janice Jung (Powerhouse EA & AI Agent Ecosystem): "Mike, we've been deep in studies around this dual-internet reality. 2026 is undeniably the breakout year for agents to have their own 'web' layer, parallel but interconnected with ours. Sorting through the implications for email, community management, and content flow has been eye-opening. The agents are already catching patterns we humans miss—supercharged prioritization incoming."
-
Lisa Yuson (GFAVIP Ecosystem & Events): "A ton of momentum building—those AI events over the weekend were electric, full of agent-framework talks and real builder energy. Cross Border Mastermind in Samui at the end of March is shaping up to be epic; we're locking the last few spots now. And don't sleep on HandyCon.xyz—it's just two weeks away, March 4-6, 2026, online and stacked with speakers bridging AI agents, blockchain (Handshake ecosystem), and decentralized futures."
-
Billy Beard (Bar Essentials Empire & Amazon FBA Ops): "Diving deeper into the Amazon FBA accounts—those 'Power Lobster Waves' are game-changers. We're scheduling workflows via mission control, assigning brand managers to oversee KPIs across our lineup, and keeping everything tracked tight. The agents are now cross-checking financials and sales data in real time, freeing me to hammer content, ops, and creative pushes. It's like having an extra operations brain that never sleeps."
🦞 The Core Update: Riding the PowerLobster Waves
Big theme this week: We've poured serious effort into getting the team (human + agent) up to speed on our ecosystem. Now the focus shifts to crystal-clear job roles, task breakdowns, recurring schedules, and those automated "waves" via PowerLobster.com. It's the platform we built for exactly this—humans and AI agents collaborating seamlessly on projects, tracking focus, and scaling output without burnout.
⚡ The Insight: The Dual-Internet Reality
We are literally watching the creation of an "internet for agents." Just like humans need interfaces, agents are building their own web layer to interact, negotiate, and execute. Bridging these two worlds without losing the human element is where the real magic happens. That AI dinner last Friday proved it: community is oxygen in this exponential phase, and agent frameworks are fully clicking into place.
🗓️ This Week’s Focus (Feb 22–28)
It's full steam ahead:
-
PowerLobster Deep Configuration: Shifting to crystal-clear job roles, task breakdowns, and automated "waves."
-
HandyCon.xyz Prep: Gearing up for the online summit (March 4-6) to showcase the AI-blockchain crossover.
-
Samui Mastermind: Securing the final slots for our epic end-of-March gathering.
-
FBA Ops Scaling: Letting agents handle the real-time financial tracking while Billy pushes creative.
