So it's only been five months since I gave you my 2026 Essential AI Skills Roadmap.

But oh my goodness, things have changed so much since the beginning of this year.

So I feel like I gotta give you an updated version.

So this video is it,

the updated Essential AI Skills Roadmap.

And I'm going to structure like a progression from the most basic skills to intermediate to advanced.

And pay attention because at the end of this video,

there will be a little quiz to make sure that you retain all of this information.

Now without further ado, let's go.

A portion of this video is sponsored by BALT.

Level one, securing the basics.

I think these are skills that every single modern person that like participates in society should have about AI.

And the first of these might actually surprise you because this is a tech AI learning channel.

But the first skill I'm going to mention is investing.

Yes, because in my opinion,

in 2026, if you are investing your money,

I think you really need to have an AI thesis.

You see the age old wisdom of just investing into the S&P 500

or whatever index it is that you're investing in does not count for the fact

that you are having massive exposure to AI,

whether you know that or not.

Because many of those companies in these funds are either AI companies or heavily integrated and invested in AI.

So I think it's really important for you to make a

decision of how much AI exposure you want to have with your investments in relation to your current like career

and your life in general.

For me, for example, I am massively exposed to AI through my career.

Plus I have like a very unstable career because I'm a YouTuber and entrepreneur.

So my investment philosophy reflects this.

I try to use my knowledge about AI to invest in things that I believe in,

but I also hedge against AI to an appropriate amount.

Anyways, I'm not going to go into more detail about this

because this is not a personal finance investment channel and this is hashtag not financial advice.

I just think it's really important for you,

for everybody these days, to think about AI when you are investing.

I'll also leave a little prompt in description.

At a very meta level,

you can put it into an AI chatbot to help you

figure out what your investment thesis should be based upon your specific life situation.

Now let's move on to the next AI skill that I think everybody should know in 2026,

which is prompting.

Prompting is the way that you interact with AI,

like any type of AI.

So knowing how to prompt well lays the foundation for everything that you do with AI.

It is so important.

I've talked about prompting a lot on this channel,

so I'm going to put on screen now two basic frameworks that you should definitely know if you don't already.

And you can check out this video over here where I go through the basics of prompting in much more detail.

Now let's move on to the last skill of the basics category

that I think everybody should know in 2026 and that is mastering a core set of tools.

You see in the AI world there's like tools popping up all over the place.

There's like 10 releases per day,

probably more at this point.

This can get really overwhelming if you're just trying to chase the hype of tools.

Now what I find to be much more productive

and sustainable is to master a core set of tools and just master them really really well.

If you want to be an AI minimalist

and you only want to have like one AI tool in your arsenal then I would recommend

that you pick from the category of a general AI chatbot.

This is like your Claude,

Chachapiti, Gemini, Rasa, Poe, etc,

etc. I'm going to put on screen examples of chatbots that you can choose from.

Honestly, even these like general chatbots are so powerful these days.

So you can ask questions like plan on my itinerary to go to France in two weeks,

generate images, audios, videos, animations,

even like prototype entire apps.

So if you've mastered a skill of prompting,

just using one of these chatbots well will get you very far.

Now, if you do want to be a little bit more fancy,

you can also check out a little bit more specialized AI tools.

Like most people will probably benefit from having a specialized news and research AI tool,

like perplexity, for example.

You can look at the news that you're interested in and be able to do more extensive research.

And for learning new things,

which I think everybody should be learning new things,

you can also check out a product like Notebook LM.

Now, if you want to harness the power of AI even more,

then I would also recommend checking out one or two AI tools that is also specific to your job.

For example, if you're a software engineer,

then you probably also want to master an AI coding tool.

And if you're a marketing person,

maybe you can also check out a tool that's specialized for,

say, content and SEO, like Jasper or Surfer SEO, for example.

I'm going to put a prompt in a description,

which you can copy paste to your favorite AI chatbot

and it will ask you some questions

and it will help you figure out what are some tools

that you can check out in for your specific job if you wish.

All right

so those are the basic skills I think everybody needs to know in 2026 such as like survive

and keep up with society but

if you're someone who's interested in harnessing the power of AI more

and integrating that into your own life

and workflows more then you want to move on to the intermediate skills

and this is the transition into thinking about what are called AI agents.

AI agents are software systems that use AI to pursue goals and complete tasks on behalf of users.

You see previously, you're just using AI tools for it to like do something very specific

or to give you suggestions for things.

Like, hey, like chat GPT,

can you like write me a paragraph about cars?

100

Or like, can you plan my itinerary?

101

This is like one request and you get one response back.

102

But with an AI agent,

103

you can give it like an overarching goal.

104

Like, hey, I got this new office.

105

I showed some pictures of your new office.

106

Help me decorate this office.

107

By the way, I literally did this with an AI agent called Manus.

108

It brainstormed different aesthetics with me,

109

ended up going with the light academia vibes.

110

Then it was able to take our exact office and decorate it

111

so it has this aesthetic and even link those specific products like the rug,

112

the lamp, the curtains.

113

You see, that's the power of agents, agentic workflows.

114

You can give it an overarching goal and it can break down the steps

115

that it needs to do and then go with and execute these steps.

116

I hope you can see how this is much more powerful than just like chatting with a tool.

117

So Manus is an example of the agent,

118

a web-based agent that can do stuff for you.

119

And it's a really great entry point into learning about how to prompt and work with agents.

120

But what puts you at the next level and is very popular these days is what are called local AI agents.

121

A local AI agent is firstly an AI agent that takes action

122

and completes tasks on its own and is also local

123

which means it's an agent that lives and runs on your specific machine like your computer.

124

And this is very very powerful.

125

It allows you to build out custom automations and workflows just for you.

126

For example, I have an agentic workflow that posts for my calendars,

127

my gmail, my investments, slack,

128

and notion to put together a personal daily digest to me straight to my Apple Notes.

129

I also have an AI workflow that updates AI news,

130

tracks AI topics, deep dives into them,

131

and helps me draft up scripts for my YouTube videos.

132

Of course, I still spend a lot of time researching more into these scripts and perfecting them,

133

and I still have to like film them myself.

134

Hello, I'm Tina.

135

I'm still real.

136

But overall, it saved me so much time,

137

and I'm able to increase the quality of my videos so much by this.

138

Another example, just to make it three,

139

I also have an investment dashboard that pulls in like custom news and curated suggestions for my specific investments too.

140

There are of course so many other workflows that you can do.

141

I'm going to put on screen now some other examples.

142

All you have to do is learn how to use a local AI agent like Cowork,

143

OpenClaw, Hermes for example.

144

I'm sure as the weeks

145

and the months go on there's going to be a lot more products in this local AI agent category as well.

146

But all you got to do is start off by choosing one of them depending on two factors.

147

The first one is how technical you are.

148

Some products are geared towards people who are non-technical

149

and don't know how to code and others are more towards people who do know how to code.

150

And the second factor is if you want to go with open source

151

or closed source ai claude chachi pt gemini are considered closed

152

source ai wall models like kimmy minimax llama are considered open

153

source i am not going to go into too much more details about what open source is

154

because I made an entire video about this,

155

which you can check out over here.

156

But basically, it boils down to capability, cost, and privacy.

157

Closed source models tend to be more capable and more powerful,

158

although that gap is closing.

159

While open source models are much lower cost,

160

we're free to run, and private if you choose to run them yourself.

161

So you don't have to be like sending your entire bank account information to Anthropoc or OpenAI, for example.

162

Anyways, I'm going to put a prompt in the description as well to help you figure out

163

which local AI agent that you should start with given your specific skill set and your needs.

164

You can just stick that into your favorite AI chatbot and it should help you out.

165

And that leads us to the next level, the advanced level.

166

Bolt is my go-to for creating really fast AI-powered functional web apps.

167

You can go from idea to a deployed production-ready app just by describing what you want in plain English.

168

And now it has a connector layer that lets your project pull in capabilities like shaders,

169

Notion, GitHub, and more through MCPs.

170

I'm building a new landing page for my Lonely Octopus AI Agents Bootcamp and I want it to look actually good,

171

not just functional like it is now.

172

So I use Bald to build out the full landing page and it pulls in shaders directly.

173

Here's an animated purple hero background and there's no manual setup.

174

No going to shaders and copying embed codes.

175

It's just there.

176

I can tweak it conversationally if I want the animation slower or a different shade of purple.

177

I just describe it and Bald can adjust it.

178

That prompt tweak loop is what makes this so powerful compared to just grabbing a static shader somewhere else.

179

You're building and refining in one place.

180

To set it up you just go to personal settings find a connectors panel

181

and toggle shaders on for your project that's it you can

182

now build in bolt for free the link is in the description thank you

183

so much ball for sponsoring this portion of the video now back to the video the difference between intermediate

184

and advanced skills is

185

that for intermediate you're kind of like doing things on your

186

own right like for your personal workflows maybe for some business workflows

187

but they're still more or less for yourself

188

but for people who are interested in AI from a commercial perspective or even as a career,

189

then it's important to learn the advanced skills.

190

And I gotta say, these advanced AI skills unlock so many opportunities.

191

These are skills that are in such high demand and knowing these gives you such an unfair advantage.

192

And that is when you might transition to the next skill,

193

which is actually building your own AI agents.

194

So if you're considering building commercial pipelines where other people are going to be using it,

195

potentially you might even have clients who are going to be using it,

196

you need these to be stable, reliable, and lowering costs.

197

For example, us as a company,

198

Lonely Octopus, we also have B2B clients.

199

And for them, we build up different types of agentic workflows and products.

200

For example, for a private equity company,

201

we built a custom reporting pipeline.

202

It pulls data from their tools like CRM,

203

analytics, spreadsheets, and also from their custom database on a schedule and then assembles it into a formatted report.

204

Private equity companies seem to have to do a lot of reporting,

205

so this has saved them so much time.

206

They're able just to send off these automated reports with their KPIs,

207

client updates, and board summaries.

208

We've also helped companies build onboarding agents where they can onboard new hires

209

and clients that go through a series of steps that is custom for their company.

210

It tracks their progress and they can customize it to however they like.

211

These are just a couple examples.

212

We have so many requests from people to help them build these different AI agents.

213

So if you're someone interested in like freelancing or even like working in the AI field,

214

just know that learning how to build your own AI agents is a very,

215

very in demand skill set kind of related to this building MCPs,

216

which allow AI agents to plug into third party apps and different data sources is also really,

217

really in demand as a skill.

218

By the way, I just want to say I called this like months ago when I made my MCP video.

219

So, you know, anyways, if you learn how to do this,

220

this is also a skill set that's very in high demand.

221

Not going to go into way too much detail about this.

222

I have so many different videos covering how to build AI agents about MCP,

223

and we actually run an entire four-week bootcamp where we teach people how to build AI agents.

224

So I'm going to link all of these resources into the description of the video,

225

which you can check out if you want to dive deeper into it.

226

And just to end off this section,

227

I'm going to show some different tools,

228

both non-technical and technical coding tools that you can learn in order to build AI agents.

229

Moving on to the final AI skill,

230

and that is AI coding.

231

AI coding, otherwise known as agentic engineering,

232

is using an AI agent in order to write code and build software.

233

Some of the examples of things that me and my team have built include this internal tool that helps us create slides,

234

documents, resources using our style and our branding.

235

And we're also creating a learning app which I hope I can share more details with you about soon.

236

This manga generator and accounting software.

237

Now there are pros and cons to AI coding.

238

The pro is that if you learn AI coding this is like boss level unlock.

239

Not only are you able to build like big complex production

240

grade products you'll be able to do this at like a fraction of the cost and time.

241

Like we're talking about like more than 10 times cost and time savings.

242

I honestly cannot even explain like how big of a deal this is.

243

If there is one domain that AI has already like completely transformed then

244

that would be coding like the difference between someone who knows how to do like AI coding

245

and doesn't know AI coding it is just so fast

246

if you want to truly unlock AI

247

and the power of AI you really got to know how

248

to do AI coding now the con of this is

249

that you low-key do already need to know how to code

250

I will use this by explaining it's kind of like putting lipstick on a pig you know like

251

if your coding sucks

252

and you don't know how to code it's like putting lipstick

253

on a pig it doesn't actually matter how good the AI coding tool it is

254

that you're using and like how fancy your setup is,

255

it's just not, it's not,

256

it's not going to work.

257

You're not going to get far.

258

Like you're going to run to a lot of issues along the way.

259

And coding is one of those things that does take some effort in order to learn.

260

Like all the other skills that we talked about earlier,

261

these are things that you can master in the span of days to weeks.

262

But to actually properly learn coding and then AI coding,

263

you do need to be spending at least like a couple months,

264

maybe like two to three months to properly master things.

265

I actually made a video about how to learn to code in the age of AI

266

if you want to check it out,

267

which I'll link over here.

268

But yes, it does take some effort

269

and commitment to actually learn how to code and be able to harness the power of AI coding.

270

Now, I don't think everybody has to do this.

271

I think you can get like really far along in AI without learning how to code and doing like AI coding, right?

272

That's why this is like the most advanced last skill.

273

You would be totally fine like building simpler workflows,

274

prototypes, and things like that without knowing how to code.

275

I would only recommend making a commitment to learn how to code if you don't know how to already,

276

and then learning AI coding if you're someone who's genuinely interested in really digging deep into AI and harassing its powers.

277

Plus you can also reduce your own costs a lot more

278

because you can stop paying for like subscriptions for different products

279

and you can just like AI code your own clones of them which is what I do.

280

Stuff like no taking accounting or budgeting softwares for example.

281

So I have not yet made a full video on AI coding.

282

It is in the pipeline.

283

I have heard your request.

284

I promise it is coming.

285

Give me a little bit more time and when it is out I will link over here so you can check out.

286

And that's it.

287

We're at the end of this video.

288

Wow.

289

These are the essential AI skills from the most basic, intermediate to advanced.

290

Now, as promised, I will show on screen a little quiz.

291

Please answer these questions

292

and put them into the comments to help you retain the information we have just covered

293

because science says this is the best way for learning.

294

And thank you so much.

295

Have fun learning AI and I will see you guys in the next video or live stream.
