AI Agent & Copilot Podcast: An Update on Shawn’s AI-Influenced Fantasty Football League
In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, Shawn Dorward gives an update on his AI-influenced fantasy football league, comparing it to the league he drafted without the use of AI.
This episode is sponsored by the AI Agent & Copilot Summit NA, taking place March 17-19, 2026 in San Diego, California.
Key Takeaways
- AI fantasy football: As referenced in a previous episode, Shawn replicated his fantasy football team in a second, AI-influenced league to compare outcomes using computer use agents. In week one, they followed AI’s suggested roster changes, and both the AI-managed team and his own team won their respective matchups.
- Prompts: Throughout the season, Shawn came to realize that early AI suggestions relied heavily on pre-season stats and projected points, which aren’t always reliable for winning. He later refined their prompt to include deeper factors like player synergy and team analysis for better decision-making.
- Computer use agents: He shares his results for week 2 and explains that from week three onward, Shawn used computer use agents to automate changes, noting this feels like a “stepping stone” toward future tech that could handle routine tasks autonomously.
- Final results: In the end, both teams struggled: Shawn’s team fell to 2–6, while the AI-managed team performed even worse at 1–7. “AI is not going to predict the future. Games still need to be played,” he noted.
- AI Agent & Copilot Summit NA: In closing, Shawn highlights the AI Agent & Copilot Summit, taking place March 17-19 in San Diego, CA, and highlights the featured Keynote Speaker, Donna Sarkar. Register here to define the opportunities, impact, and outcomes of AI business solutions.
