"We started by making a spreadsheet of essentially famous people, largely but not entirely, from the business world. We divided them into categories, including iconic business leaders, tech CEOs, VCs, authors, and thought leaders. We also had a category for different voices, such as Oprah Winfrey and Taylor Swift. Next, we had something like a draft where we picked a couple of people from each category that we wanted on the board."
"In October, I got an idea to build what I call a fantasy board of directors from another CEO, and with his permission, I made a version of my own to use as a personal thought partner. We have an actual human board, and it's fantastic. I get really good advice from them. But I wanted to use AI to create a fantasy board because mine is limited by the five people who are on it and the experiences that they have in life."
Matt Blumberg, a four-time technology CEO who leads Markup AI, built an AI agent that functions as a fantasy board of directors composed of famous business, tech, VC, author, and cultural voices. The team created a spreadsheet, grouped candidates into categories, and drafted about 15 names to simulate as personas. The AI agent provides diverse perspectives and acts as a creative thought partner for brainstorming and advice. The agent cannot perceive human cues or current real-world context and cannot replace a human board; human judgment and contextual knowledge remain essential.
