What does it actually look like when a solo creator uses Google AI to run an entire business — content research, video review, design, app building, and audience growth — without a team?

In this episode of The Agent Factory, host Smitha Kolan sits down with Kushank Aggarwal, aka Digital Samaritan, a creator-entrepreneur on a mission to educate 1 billion people for free using AI. Kushank reveals his complete AI Playbook — the exact workflows he uses daily to research content across Reddit and X, review and optimize YouTube videos using Gemini’s video understanding, build a LinkedIn growth strategy with NotebookLM, design full applications in Google Stitch, and vibe code a working course platform in Antigravity — all live on camera.

They also break down the latest AI news, including Gemini in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive), Andrej Karpathy’s AutoResearcher, and OpenClaw — plus Kushank’s honest take on why most people are using AI wrong and what to do instead.

Whether you’re a creator, entrepreneur, solopreneur, or just curious about what’s actually possible with AI right now — this episode is your playbook.
