Build the Agent, Learn the Rule

James Pelton is a serial entrepreneur, YouTube creator with 83,000+ subscribers, and Senior DevRel at Zencoder — an AI engineering platform. He founded and exited a mobile SMS marketing company, then pivoted into AI tooling, content creation, and multi-agent system building. He currently runs roughly 10 income streams, several of which are managed by AI agents he built himself.
