# An AI-Agent Operating Blueprint, Plus Two Direct Reading and Viewing Picks

*By Recommended Reading from Tech Founders • July 23, 2026*

Garry Tan highlights a detailed public blueprint for running business workflows through an AI agent. Jack Dorsey and Guillermo Rauch add direct links to a video on “buzz” and Isaac Asimov’s short story “The Last Question.”

## Most compelling: a public blueprint for an AI-run operating system

### Gumclaw’s AI-agent operating-system write-up

- **Content type:** Blog post / public operating-system documentation
- **Author/creator:** Not identified in the supplied material
- **Link:** [Read the write-up](https://gumclaw.github.io/how-i-work/index.html) [^1]
- **Recommended by:** Garry Tan, who described it as “Living in the future.” [^2]
- **Key takeaway:** The write-up describes an agent running on a dedicated Mac, awakened by cron jobs to handle support tickets, X mentions, engineering tasks, finance documents, and follow-ups. Its sessions begin without model memory; continuity comes from policy files, logs, notes, watchlists, ledgers, repositories, and an index. [^1]
- **Why it matters:** This is the day’s most concrete resource: it documents an operational approach rather than merely advocating agents. In particular, it outlines a support-to-engineering workflow that can investigate a customer issue, reproduce a bug, write and test a fix, open a pull request, and track the customer for follow-up after deployment. [^1]

The implementation also describes roughly 40 skills and 100 purpose-built scripts, with repeatable tasks turned into skills or scripts. Its stated permission model separates autonomous routine work from actions needing approval and high-stakes decisions that are escalated. [^1]

## Two shorter recommendations on AI and long-horizon questions

### YouTube video on “buzz”

- **Content type:** Video
- **Title / creator:** Not identified in the supplied material
- **Link:** [Watch on YouTube](https://youtu.be/g8dQBSKIGyc) [^3]
- **Recommended by:** Jack Dorsey
- **Key takeaway:** Dorsey says the video explains “buzz” better than he could. [^4]
- **Why it matters:** The source provides no further description of the video’s contents, but it is a direct, unprompted pointer from Dorsey for readers seeking his preferred explanation of the topic.

### *The Last Question* — Isaac Asimov

- **Content type:** Science-fiction short story
- **Author:** Isaac Asimov
- **Link:** [Read the story](https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~gamvrosi/thelastq.html) [^5]
- **Recommended by:** Guillermo Rauch
- **Key takeaway:** Rauch calls Asimov’s 1956 story “wonderful.” [^5]
- **Why it matters:** It is a concise fiction recommendation offered alongside a direct reading link—an accessible choice for readers interested in an early work Rauch considers enduring.
