This 1 AI Habit 10x’d My Productivity

Cloud agents are here.

Over the past 2 months, Cursor, then Codex, then Claude Code added cloud agent functionality to their apps.

What are cloud agents you ask?

These AI agents run entirely in the cloud — you can spin them up from anywhere, even if your devices are off.”

What does this mean for you?

No matter where you are - at the gym, in bed, on your computer, even on a roller coaster - you can spin up AI agents that work for you.

I found a workflow with these agents that’s 10x’d my output.

I try to make it so I always have at least 6 agents working for me:

4 building features
1 building marketing
1 acting as a product manager

I have 4 agents adding features to whatever app I’m working on. These are going to be smaller features so I don’t have to merge these massive changes. If you’re in Cursor or Codex, choose cloud as your place for the agents to work. If you’re in Claude Code, go to Claude.ai and choose the code section on the left or go to ‘Code’ in the mobile Claude app. This is where you can spin up cloud agents.

But again, these agents don’t just code, they can do anything. So I have another agent building me a marketing plan for the app I’m working on.

I have another agent act as the product manager, constantly reviewing my roadmap and coming up with new ideas.

Throughout the day I check in on my agents and assign new tasks if they’re idle. Before bed, I always queue up fresh work - so when I wake up, I’ve got progress waiting.

It always keeps the ball moving forward.

If you’re building with AI, you need to adopt this routine too. It not only advances your building faster than you ever have before, but it also keeps your brain constantly ideating and coming up with new cool things to build.

Cheapest way to get this workflow done is with Cursor or ChatGPT $20 plan. I use the $200 Claude Code plan though because I think that is the best coding tool at the moment.

Action plan for you right now:

If you use any of the AI coding tools above, try out the cloud agents with the setup I talked about. 6 agents working for you.

If you’re not an AI coder, then just give some prompts to ChatGPT before you go to bed. Wake up to your answers!
