Tip no. 6 Use agents to filter what reaches you
So far I’ve used AI agents mostly interactively. Recently, though, I found a useful job for them: filtering the content I want to follow.
With a Claude Managed Agent I built my own news feed that pulls together blogs and social media posts every day. The upside is that I can read it on an e-ink tablet, without being interrupted by ads or irrelevant posts.
The second example is keeping track of software changes. For Claude Code, I occasionally run a skill that reads my configuration and works out which of all the new features are relevant to me.

The ideal is to have the desired version of every tool at every situation during both development and deployment. Docker might be the answer for someone, but it might not be practical to use it all the time. Let's analyze the situation.
