RL Nabors makes a case against chat as the permanent UI for agents, arguing it's the "terminal" to the future "iPhone" of rich, interactive experiences. She demonstrates how to build these experiences using web technologies, introducing MCP Apps for in-agent UIs and WebMCP for making existing websites agent-callable, positioning the web platform as the ultimate "infinite canvas".
A deep dive into AI harnesses, explaining how to build a programmatic environment around an LLM agent to ensure reliability without prompt engineering. The talk demonstrates building a harness for a browser agent to reliably log in and upvote a post on Hacker News using GPT-3.5 Turbo.
Pedro Rodrigues from Supabase shares key lessons from building an agent skill to work with Postgres and Supabase. He explains why critical security rules must go in the main skill file, the importance of pointing to living documentation, and how providing opinionated workflow guidance closes the reliability gap for agents in production systems.
Explore GPT-Realtime-2, OpenAI's advanced voice AI model, through practical demos and a deep dive with Sierra on building production-grade, low-latency voice agents with complex reasoning and tool use.
Merve Noyan from Hugging Face discusses how open-source models have achieved parity with closed-source counterparts, highlighting the Hugging Face ecosystem built to support this shift. She covers tools for model selection, local agent deployment, and the transformative "Hugging Face Skills" that allow agents to automate complex ML engineering tasks like fine-tuning models with a single prompt.
Nico Albanese from Vercel demonstrates how to build a stateful, learning AI agent from scratch using AI SDK v6. The workshop covers the core components: a tool loop, provider-executed tools like web search, end-to-end type safety, and Vercel's new persistent named sandboxes, which give the agent a file system to persist state, memory, and even self-generated tools across sessions.
