I run about 25 AI agents across my businesses. Maybe eight of them actually earn their keep. So when Doba sent me Doba Pilot, their new AI dropshipping agent, and told me it runs your whole store from research to live sales, I sat down and tried to catch it lying to me.
It's genuinely good at one half of the job. The other half it hands back to you, and most people won't see that coming. In this video I take it step by step through a real pet-supplies build and show you exactly where the wall sits.
