Armando J. Perez-Carreno talks with Mike Carlo about hyper-personalized tooling, the idea that you can stop renting one-size-fits-all SaaS and start building small custom tools that solve your exact problem. They dig into why an AI agent should create the software you need, then step back, instead of running everything for you.
The conversation covers how local tooling can beat cloud subscriptions on both quality and cost, and what a “creator agent” mindset looks like for a solo founder or an enterprise team. If you have ever felt like every tool gets you 80 percent of the way and then stops, this one is worth your time.
